Right Chameleon configurations? - Won't boot without Stick.

SOLVED!!! - Right Chameleon configurations? - Won't boot without Stick.

Hello :>,

Today I finally managed to get Lion on my PC to run.
Now everything is running perfectly. However, when I try to configure the Chameleon bootloader in the settings so that I can start directly from my hard drive, the system will not boot. So far I still have to boot from my USB stick. I've tried many settings with the bootloader configuration from chameleon but nothing works for me.
Here are my specifications:
Graphics: ATI Radeon 5970HD
Motherboard: Asus P7H55
CPU: i7 ...

I hope that someone can help me, and sorry for my bad english. x.x

Hi, when you say won't boot, can you explain more on what happens, Does it show Boot0 or something? Also are you dual booting on Win7? If its Boot0:Error you may need to fix boot1h, see this thread http://legacy.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?t=61081&p=382705

Thanks for the quick reply.
When I try to start directly from my hard drive I get a kernel panic. (With standart Chameleon configurations)
Know I've tried to change the settings to
PciRoot=1 and then I get this message: "applesmbuspci start failed to get acpi"

Yes I'm dual booting, but it doesn't show me this message. :>

Have you tried any other boot flags like -x, GraphicsEnabler=No, use -v and take a snapshot of where it stops then post and we can help from there.

 

[Maruseru]

Yes I've tried some other bootflags. With -x it starts, but I can't connect to the internet.
Bootflags I tried so far are: -x, -f, GraphicEnabler=No, PCIRootUID=1, npci=x3000
In verbose mode I get this message:

The message tell: "AppleSMBusPCI::start failes to get acpi path for provider"

Can you try 'Kernel Flags' as 'arch=i386' or post your plist file

 

[Maruseru]

Hey,

I try this Bootflag in a hour.
I hope that you mean the Chameleon plist file.
Here is the text in it:

<?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">

	<key>Timeout</key>

	<key>UseKernelCache</key>
	<string>No</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Now I've tried to set PCIRoot=1 at Chameleon and stick off the USB Stick.
I still can't boot without the stick, but when it's off, I get another message:

Hey,

know all works perfectly and I can boot without the USB Stick.
Thank you for your help. :>

For all other people who have the same problem, here is the way, I get to solve this problem. And again, sorry for my bad english. ^^


1.) Install the following Patches with Multibeast:
ElliottForceLegacyRTC, EvOreboot, FakeSMC without Plugins, NullCPUPowermangement, the Bootloader Chimera v1.11.1 r1394 (use the version you can get with Multibeast), as s Definition Mac Pro 3,1

2.) Go to /Extra/ and open org.Chameleon.Boot.plist with TextEdit and add the following lines:
