Hi,
I was running Chameleon RC2 but I upgraded to RC4 because of the Hide partitions features.
I was looking for an upgrade procedure and everyone seems to say that I have only to replace the /boot file with the new one.
So this is what I did and I rebooted. New version came up without problem. Partitions I wanted to hide weren't there anymore.
My Windows 7 boots perfectly. But my Mac OS dosen't boot anymore. In normal boot, I get the grey screen with the apple logo and it freeze there (no spinning loading circle). If I boot in verbose mode, I get this (screenshot), then right after that a black screen and it freeze.
I put the old RC2 boot file in place, and everything works
I must do something wrong !
any idea ? thanks

Hi,
Try lizard.app, he has a simple intarface and must help you upgrading
your bootloader and a lot of other things.
About the black screen after you replace the boot file in /, i think it could
be your /Extra/com.apple.boot.plist., if happend again, try boot with
"GraphicsEnabler=No" without quotes.

Hello!
I have the infamous GMA 4500m card.
Now to the problem I am facing: I have a Sony Vaio VGN-NS120AH (sold in Brazil). With Chameleon 2 RC4 and Leopard 10.5.8 (using iATKOS v7, then iDeneb upgrade) I basically turned my Vaio into a MacBook, except for the Wireless Card. So, on Leopard I get my native resolution (1280x800) by installing Chameleon 2 and inserting Graphics Mode=1280x800x32 in com.apple.boot.plist.
Now here is what is really Killing me...
I can install Snow Leopard (Retail & Universal) just fine and absolutely everything works beautifully as long as I use Chameleon 1.
As soon as I try to run any version of Chameleon 2 (RC3, RC4, RC5), the boot time increases to over 2 minutes! But that is not the only problem.
Once I am at the Desktop, both the keyboard and the trackpad are active, but do not respond until 7 ou 8 minutes later! WTH??
I know this because if I press the Caps Key, it turns the little light ON and OFF as it should, and if I touch the trackpad the cursor moves normally. I just cannot "Type" nor "Click" anything for what seems like an eternity!
Oh yes! Chameleon 2 also kills my Atheros Wireless Card, all of sudden the system will say "No Airport Card Installed!"
So, I very very much need help, maybe someone experienced the same problem? Because I am sooo close to complete success... it would be a total bummer having to give up on Chameleon 2. It is the only way I can get my GMA 4500M to have its native resolution of 1280x800.
Someone please help? Thanks again
