Cool. Can you supply the uefi directories or some more info? I started playing with XPC files that I poached from here and elsewhere on the web but do not get boot, even 10.6 hangs so I am doing something wrong for sure... docs for it are non-existent like my russian.

I'm in the same situation
I have tried the old non gui version of XPC and I can start it and select my boot drive but after loadin extensions mkext it hangs
with the fleha's package dowloaded from apple.ru I have XPC stopped after
MBR Start!
message on two different mobo.
usb folders are:
/Volumes/EFI FAT32 1/efi/boot/

• /Volumes/EFI FAT32 1/efi/boot/bootx64.efi

I am at the same boat. XPC doesn't started on my laptops at all.


Google translator to you.

I just install XPC in the flash key, and it start normal, but use -v to boot get an error 'still wait for boot device'

Wich version of xpc are you using tmacyunn1?
I found a 0,50a version April 2010 version that looks newer than the other i tested so i'll try this and report back
here the mediafire folder were i found some different xpc versions
http://www.mediafire.com/?36li23ag42y9s

I use it but sometime It's really senseless the translation

for example this post:
проверено несколько раз!!! и так все по порядку для тех кто был как я в танке)))
открываем дисковую утилиту жмем на флеху-разбить на разделы. выбираем 1 раздел .в параметрах выбираем таблицу MBR. может сразу не форматнуть . повторяем до результата.далее из прикрепленного архива запускаем XPC Boot Prepare Tool.pkg .осторожно!! чтоб не убить раздел. указываем на нашу флеху. после окончания вытаскиваем флеху и опять вставляем. копируем на нее файлы Гыка. все загрузчик работает!!! не забываем закинуть свой DSDT

Translated by google is a bit confusing
I have run the installer on my usbkey and then I put my dsdt.aml in place of the one I found


EDIT:
I managed to boon XPC the one from 4-2010 on my mobo but i can't load drive icon so i have to move blind. I can load kernel from my 10.6.6 installation but after i get KP
with a 10.6.0 installation it hang at kernel loading but no KP

diggin more...

We'd rather have some more or less well-formed english post than some google-translated bullsh*t...

My russian sucks, so I cannot take care of that but as long as no one likes to do that, I'd rather leave that discussion in the more appropriate place.

-aprodigy

I've managed to boot with XPC on my zotac but dsdt not loaded now tring with iBoot

Hi, scrax. I use the XPC downloaded from the site slice give, make it install on USB key, and it works well, also use it to install Lion on my extended drive. By now the sound and the wireless doesn't work, graphics and ethernet works fine. But some bugs is exist, too. It needs time to solve it by Apple developer.

Here is Click to view attachment (Replace the dsdt.aml of yours)

Thank's a lot

I'll report back if it works

Any XPC never worked for me. Trying iBoot mix: Efildr20 from iBOOT and iboot.efi from iBoot-1.3 (can patch more SMBIOS keys), gfx string generated by EFIStudio and put into devices/strings.dat. Got resolution and proper info in SysProf/Graphics but no full QE/CI. Using patched DSDT (including from Snow) get KP (...no HPETS...).

EDIT: I had got black screen&nothing after red "MBR Start" with XPC, that issue gone when removed all usb devices (except boot media) and booted after shutdown instead of restart. (XPC 0.82.33 and above)

А как гык грузится

can somone translate this please?

google say somthing like:
"how is the Georgia?"



OT
...and if someone knows were to find a efildr32 ...

Something like that:
А как гык грузится = And how гык loading (гык-sse2 is a nick, загрузчик is a bootloader).
Maybe someone russian-speaker would correct if i'm wrong.

Correct.

One more translation joke:
"Clover loader is Duet from Edk2". In russian sounds like
"Клёвый лодырь есть дуэт из двух едоков" - Attractive slacker is pair of eaters.

I want to thank this file, it made the iboot and xpc to work, instead of just "Btstart" or "Mbr start", then blank screen..

I don't know where this is from.. but I am able to "convert" this into iboot 1.5a (but it has smbios problems now), or xpc 82.33 (but it says

XPC 0.82.33 loaded from Acpi(PNP0A08,0x0)/Pci(0xB,0x1)/USB(0x3,0x0)/HD(1,MBR,0x54455544,0x3F,0xF0FFB4)
XPC © and build by iPhoneTom
No VBE interface found, XPC will quit now.
Press [Return] or [ESC] to exit.

Установил XPC на флешку
Загружаюсь с флешки и получаю такую картину

XPC упрямо пытается грузиться с CD/DVD привода и других источников загрузки не видит

for me, that picture shows up only if there ONE file on the usb stick, ie: Efildr20

If it finds the /EFI/boot/???.efi, it would load that instead, but I don't know how Efildr20 knows what file to load in the /EFI/boot/ dir

I get "0GB Ram" in that screen..
