hello, i'm trying rev1208 with lion. i get a immediate reset after the initial loading,i tried erasing cache,with -x,with -f, with no changes. currently i'm using a usb stick for boot and the bootloader is installed on it.
Using -v i can see (until it reboot)
(...smbios infos...)
Actual modelname is 'N/A
/ (i see some activity on the hdd)
Starting darwin kernel (immediate reboot)
the smbios infos appear as parsed correctly,cpu recognized too with correct clock.
my system (a laptop) boot ok with chameleon v1187.
this is the Extra folder i use with the loader.
[attachment=3682:Extra.zip]
fakesmc and ps2 support are on S/L/E.
Exclude KernelPatcher.dylib. It is not work yet.

Hy Slice!!!
I did a test with your Bootloader and a strange thing happened ...
System performance in general improved, however, I was slow video...
Actually I was very confused, QE/CI were fully active, the system started much more faster, as the applications, but the video slow ...
Here are my details if you need >

Compared to?
1. Other OS version
2. Other Chameleon version
3. XPC bootloader

Compared with the same OS version (Lion) and the currently Build that i'm using 1187.

So it seems to be an GPUPM that is switched on on my version of Chameleon vs off in trunk version.
my propositions:
Try to tune
/System/Library/Extensions/AppleGraphicsControl.kext
/System/Library/Extensions/AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext
/System/Library/Extensions/IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext/Contents/Resources
Or I can remake my Chameleon if you are interesting.

Wow!
Do not need all this work ...
You've helped me a lot to show me the way ...
If I can make the adjustments I tell you the result ...
Thanks...

After testing with www.applelife.ru I made working version 1291.
Downloads in topic.
Modules NVRAM and KernelPatcher has special assignment.
NVRAM creates an ability to store variables during reboot. With the module you may see UUID as Mac-address.
KernelPatcher is intended for Atom CPU and for lapic patch. It is not my sources, I just made it starting. May be after some testing we can make it fully working.

Hi, Slice. I need your help. I adpot your RestartFix code, but I am sure it can't be load correctly, I add some verbose line and the output show fail:
CODE
/**********************************/
// Restart Fix
if (Platform.CPU.Vendor == 0x756E6547) { /* Intel */
fix_restart = true;
value = getStringForKey(kRestartFix, &bootInfo->chameleonConfig);
verbose("value[0] is \n", value[0], "Key is \n", kRestartFix);
if (value[0] == 'A') {
fix_restart_acpi = true;
verbose("FADT: ACPI\n");
} else if (value[0] == 'P') {
fix_restart_acpi = false;
verbose("FADT: PS2\n");
} else {
fix_restart = false;
verbose("FADT: Fail\n");
}
} else {
verbose ("Not an Intel platform: Restart Fix not applied !!!\n");
fix_restart = false;
}
/**********************************/
Output as below:
/**********************************/
value[0] is
FADT: Fail
FADT: Using custom DSDT!
value[0] is
FADT: Fail
FADT: Using custom DSDT!
/**********************************/
I add your changes base on the latest trunk source

Your mistake is here
CODE
verbose("value[0] is \n", value[0], "Key is \n", kRestartFix);
Should be
CODE
verbose("value[0] is %c \n Key is %s\n", value[0], kRestartFix);

Hi, Slice, thanks for the debug code. Now the output as below, I don't know why it get the 'S' value?!
CODE
value[0] is S
Key is RestartFix
FADT: Fail
FADT: Using custom DSDT!
value[0] is S
Key is RestartFix
FADT: Fail
FADT: Using custom DSDT!
And my RestartFix value is PS2
CODE
<key>RestartFix</key>
<string>PS2</string>

Hmm. It looks like value[1]... I can propose that
CODE
value = getStringForKey(kRestartFix, &bootInfo->chameleonConfig);
makes a shifted value.
Try to print the whole string
CODE
verbose("value is %s \n Key is %s\n", value, kRestartFix);
May be the problem that your config file saved as Unicode?

seems the value array get from wrong place? Cause I change the key value to ABCDEFG, it still get 'S'
CODE
<key>RestartFix</key>
<string>ABCDEFG</string>
I show the whole value of value, but seems it only get one element?

Number of downloads: 25and my plist is same format as yours, it's unicode(UTF-8)
Also I see all the source which will use getStringForKey return as a bool value
CODE
const char *boardid = getStringForKey("SMboardproduct", &bootInfo->smbiosConfig);
if (boardid)
DT__AddProperty(node, BOARDID_PROP, strlen(boardid)+1, (EFI_CHAR16*)boardid);

CODE
if (boardid)
means if boardid is not zero. But it doesn't mean that the type is Boolean.
It looks like trunk sources is not good enough to do such patch.

Hi, Slice, it solved. The reason is my boot plist has some comments like <!-- ... -->, this cause the XML praser fail to get the correct keey, now it raised as issue 137 pending be solved. Thanks

Hi slice, I am very interest in your revision of bootloader, but when i install it on my laptop, stopped by auto reboot. By using the -f option, it shows actual mod:xxx

Try to exclude my modules from Extra to check if you can boot without.

Clear kernelcache and start with -v -f. What is the stop point?

I do it as you said, when using -v -f , it prints the cpu info and memory slot info, after the "Actual mode is XXXX" appears it stopped and auto reboot . It seems like the bootloader can't read information from hardware drive, here is my HDD partition table is MBR structure, the output result is :
CODE
yuns-MacBook:~ zpRood$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: FDisk_partition_scheme *320.1 GB disk0

2: Apple_HFS Macintosh 150.3 GB disk0s2

Next message may be wake from hibernate... Try "Use ForceWake=y to override" or something with SleepImage.
My bootloader vs trunk will try to wake from hibernate.
