Ok, so I got a fresh USB stick, GUID, HFS partition and installed latest chameleon on it and popped the patched kernel on my HDD as mach_kernel_patched. I created an SMBIOS.plist for a MacBookPro11,2, popped it in /Extra and used chameleon wizard to generate a configuration file.
When I boot, regardless of any flags, I always get a kernel panic shortly after mounting the boot device.
If i use boot arguments on the command line to use the non-patched kernel it reboots immediately after loading the kexts at the point where the text resolution would change so I know my setting to choose the patched kernel is correct.
EDIT: The last messages before the panic are usually something to do with IO80211Interface::efiNVRAMPublished(). The panic starts on the next line, usually with 'kernel trap' 'type 13=general protection'
EDIT: I also tried installed my DSDT and SSDT files in /Extra (the SSDT had no framebuffer configuration but DO disable the NVidia card) and that made no difference - i used DropSSDT option.
EDIT: Using -s i am able to boot into single User mode using Chameleon and the patched kernel.
EDIT: I tried moving all the 7537 specific kexts out of the way (battery, backlight, wifi injector, etc, etc) and still get a kernel panic.
