When you say put in your stick USB the haswell kernel, what kind Of bootloader do i have to use? (Clover? Unibeast?)

 

[Manic Harmon1c]

It will work for either one, but what I said above was intended for unibeast.

Ok and sorry for this newbee's question but how you copy the Kernel in the unibeast key? i didn't find any folder or Mach kernel in the stick , i see only "installer Osx mavericks".

It's hidden. Just put the kernel on the stick in the same place the "install os x mavericks" is. If you want, you can use this tool to show hidden files: http://gotoes.org/sales/ShowHiddenFilesMacOSX/How_To_Show_Hidden_Files.php Then you will be able to see the mach_kernel (as well as a bunch of hidden folders).

ok i deleted mach kernel (gray) and put your MK but it's write Can't find /mach_kernel press a key to continue...

I don't think this is really necessary since it has the same name as the original, but add this to your org.chameleon.boot.plist (Which should be in a hidden /Extra folder on your unibeast drive):

<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>

Also make sure the permissions are correct. Open up the terminal and navigate to your unibeast drive:

cd /Volumes/unibeast

check permissions for the kernel:

ls -l | grep mach_kernel

It should say this next to it: -rwxr-xr-x@ 1 root wheel

If it doesn't, do these commands:

sudo chmod 755 /Volumes/unibeast/mach_kernel

sudo chown root:wheel /Volumes/unibeast/mach_kernel

Let me know if that makes any difference.

It also needs to say "root wheel" your says "SAM admin." So in that case run this command:

sudo chown root:wheel /Volumes/unibeast/mach_kernel

I really don't think that should matter but I'm just trying to check everything...

Also, when you are at the unibeast boot screen you can't just type mach_kernel along with the rest of your arguments, that has helped some people from what I'm reading.

I'll let you know if i have any other ideas.

I should mention that if you also want to give Clover a try, it is possible to have Clover and Chimera working on your Unibeast drive without conflicting with each other.

Damage.


Ok Manic; thank you so much.

Edit: i tried with Clover, i'm stuck too
