I don't quite understand why, but I am unable to boot OSX from Chameleon on the hard drive, but my iboot supported disk does it fine. Also, I am dual booting so I followed Tony's guide on partitioning and installing, and Windows 7 boots just fine, from the iboot disk or from the hard drive.
Also, my PS/2 keyboard won't work immediately when I boot into OSX, so I have to unplug/replug it in. Is there a solution to that?
EDIT(To include detail from the latest post): As for my problem booting OSX from the HDD. What I noticed was that when I used the "tonymacx86-snowleopard.zip" it came with Chameleon 2.0 RC3, and PC EFI 10.5(Because of the logo)? I think. So after that, I went to check MultiBeast and it had newer versions, Chameleon 2.0 RC4 and PC EFI 10.6. So I proceeded to install again, and now I think my PC EFI is 10.6 because the logo changed to an apple rather than the PCEFI 105 logo, BUT Chameleon still reports itself as Chameleon 2.0 RC3. Oh, and I still can't boot OSX without the iBoot Supported disk. Windows still boots fine.
Using MultiBeast+the DSDT for my mobo, I didn't do that step at first and went to make OSX active, but I got the "Loading Operating System..." screen and it wouldn't load Chameleon from my hard drive. So I went back to the step above to install it. Now Chameleon loads from my hard drive, and can boot Windows 7 but NOT OSX, like I said before. All OSX does when I boot it is show a bunch of text stating what it's loading and then it restarts. Same thing when I use safe mode(-x).STEP 5: INSTALL CHAMELEON TO SNOW LEOPARD PARTITION
If you haven't already installed Chameleon to your Snow Leopard drive, do so now. If you followed any of my guides, this step will be unnecessary.
