I also wanted to make a bootable system copy using carbon copy cloner, but I can't get it to boot properly. I have a SSD drive for the System, and a HDD with a Data and a Backup partition. After cloning System to Backup I installed chimera on the backup disk and then tried to boot from it.
So I in Bios I change the boot device to the HDD and in chameleon i choose the backup volume, but it tells me "Couldn't find /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/kernelcache" and returns me to the boot screen.
Just for trying out I also booted using my System-Bootloader and there chose the Backup Partition. This boots up fine according to the verbose log, but then I get an all-distorted screen of which I assume it is the login screen.
Does anybody have an idea how to get the backup to boot?
