I have a beautiful working EP35-DS3P with a DSDT that is so tuned that I only need two kexts (FakeSMC, and a Realtek dummy 889a kext). I originally put my extras in a EFI partition and booted flawlessly from there.
Recently I just purchased 2TB x 2 drives and created a Raid1 Mirrored Set. I then proceeded to do a byte clone of my previous HD. Everything is successful.
So i attempted to install Chameleon on both raid members Disk0s3 and Disk1s3 (The macos X boot section of each raid device) I followed quite a few tutorials and ended up erasing my EFI partitions of my raid volumes and rendering them as active visible partitions (terrible advice) I even went as far as deleting the EFI partitions completely from my drives and removing them from the partition map completely... so now I have Disk0s1 is the 2TB section of a slice and Disk0s2 is the Mac Boot section of the slice (rather than Disk0s3) EFI is totally gone.
Now assuming EFI isn't really used anyway I proceeded. I can get chameleon to boot but when the countdown timer starts to run on my raid boot volume if I hit any key it freezes the counter and never brings up the menu. Also, if i let the timer continue I see that it loads my DSDT and then next screen is a immediate KP "unable to find driver for this platform: ACPI"
now if i put chameleon on a USB stick and boot up with the stick and point the UUID of the stick to my raid it works perfectly. 100%
so i can easily just boot off the USB stick and keep it as a boot drive (its also got a system on it that doesn't boot but if i use iBOOT or another boot CD i can get the USB stick to boot fine) Maybe this is a blessing in disguise? I'd just like to solve why can't i get my raid1 to boot. I've been doing hackintosh's for 4 or 5 years now and have built 7 hackintosh's for friends and family and always gotten a 100% build. never had problems like this before?
Anyone have any RAID1 experience and chameleon - most tutorials are for Leopard, or Striped Raids.. haven't seen a perfect tutorial yet.
in my Raid Slice #1 and #2 in my extra / com.apple.boot.plist
I have this:
DSDT
hd(0,2)/DSDT.aml
this gets recognized... also it seems Apple makes a folder called
com.apple.boot.S and puts mach_kernel inside it, but if i try and add that to my kernel in the .plist it doesn't like it. if i delete that folder and kernel on reboot its back added by apple.
also my kernal flags have my boot-uuid.
I can boot off a USB stick and in that stick i added the boot-uuid to the mem stick and it will successfully boot my main drive.
