For anyone with the Sandy Bridge CustoMac #1 build with Gigabyte Radeon HD 6670- I'm testing it right now- you HAVE to use the boot flag AtiPorts=3. So in order to get this in, either add to your /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist or type at Chimera boot screen.

Also, make sure you have the latest Chimera 1.5.4, which added the Bulrushes framebuffer by default.

No extra kext editing necessary- just type

Code: 
AtiPorts=3

Hope this helps!!

Sample edit for org.chameleon.Boot.plist. Place AtiPorts=3 in Kernel Flags and save.

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Same thing- different way of entering it. I think your way is more accurate :clap:

Dangit... I didn't have chimera 1.5.4 because I didn't have /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist so I went to the download page and downloaded and installed 1.5.4. It said that it would rename com.apple.boot.plist I believe to org.chameleon.Boot.plist.

Then I rebooted so that I could change the new plist file. Well, now it won't boot up. So, did I break it for good or what do I need to do to fix my install?

Thanks in advance for your help.
 
t0406peru, try to set GraphicsEnabler=No and will bootup again. I had exactly the same problem

Thanks man. That worked for me too. Now, how do I make it so I don't have to type that in every time I want to boot up? :)
 
Here's the problem I'm having now. I set GraphicsEnabler=No in my plist and it will boot now. But during boot I get a couple weird error messages now. I get "Error Parsing Plist" and then it takes me to the list of all the partitions to choose from but doesn't auto select my Lion install like it used to.

I then have to hit enter to get Lion to boot. Then after I've done that I get another error - "Errors encountered while starting up the computer. Waiting 5 seconds..."

What did I do wrong? Again, appreciate the help!

P.S.
Here's my org.chameleon.Boot.plist:

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>Kernel</key>
	<string>mach_kernel</string>
	<key>Kernel Flags</key>
	<string>arch=i386</string>
	<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
	<string>No</string>
	<key>Timeout</key>
	<string>2</string>
	<key>Legacy Logo</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
	<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
	<key>AtiPorts</keys>
	<string>3</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Is the sample plist code you posted from the exact #1 Custom build? I haven't had much luck with just the AtiPorts=3 alone as want to try the exact plist you have there. ???

Hope this helps!!
