So I finally got around to transferring my boot drive to an SSD. I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the drive. I can't seem to get my boot loader to work. I can use my thumb drive to get to chimera and then boot to the drive, but whenever I try to boot directly to the SSD it stops at "loading operating system".
Things I've tried:
1) I tried to run multi beast, but since everything seemed to be working I only checked the userDSDT and put the .aml file on the desktop.
2) Next I tried to download and run the chimera boot loader software. Also got the same result.
One other thing to note that I'm not sure if it's important or not, the drive I cloned used 4k sectors. I had followed these instructions to fix that: http://tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?t=42881&p=283088
One question with the boot loader as well. I've only used the boot loader when I was setting up my system initially. Once I followed the instructions from the link above it would automatically boot into OS X unless I pushed a button. I would like to keep it that way since my bluetooth keyboard won't work until it's in lion. Then when I do want to switch to windows I can plug in the usb keyboard and boot into it.
