Judging by the recommended hard drives in the CustoMac section there is still a 1TB Drive size limitation for Chameleon/Chimera.

Is this still the case?

Thanks!
 
The boot volume still must be 1 TB or less.

If you have a larger drive you will need to partition it into a least 2 partitions with one being less than 1 TB and being the boot volume.
 
My machine was starting from a single-partition WD Green 2TB flawlessly. I only had to install the latest Chimera manually ('sudo dd if=blabla of=/dev/yourdisk'), but this is because of the WD Green firmware, not because of the disk size, according to what I've read...
Now I'm using a 2.128TB Fusion Drive, without any problems either.
