boot options won't take effect in org.Chameleon.boot.plist

[yakman]

I have updated the org.Chameleon.boot.plist "Graphics Mode"="1024x768x32" npci=0x2000 GraphicsEnabler=Yes and it does seem to use it. In order to boot and see the desktop I have to pass these params at the boot loader stage.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

I think there must be a space between grapicmode, i remember that have read here somewhere about this bug in multi beast latest version.

You have the plist in /Extra I think? Just checking...

Not really. Doesn't need it, but it sure makes the boot faster if it is there.
However, if you installed Lion over SL and have /Extra/Extensions folder, run the migration utility in MultiBeast first before installing Use Kernel Cache=yes in the ..boot.plist

I found that my changes weren't being saved in the boot file either.

Are you booting from iboot? I found that once i could boot from the HD then all my changes to org.chamelion.boot.plist were then saved and take effect every boot. But this didnt occur when i was booting from iboot every time.
