hello newbie here,
i've successfull install a hackintosh on my asus k40in intel t4400, im using an asus k50in boot cd from a forum and a patched snow leo 10.6 which can installled on MBR partition because i'm using xp and 7 too in 1 hdd.
i installled chameleon on mac and restart, then after reboot, it wont load chameleon, its loaded seven bootloader. but if im using asus k50in boot cd it could boot.
i want chameleon as my default bootloader to boot mac, xp and 7.

any suggestion much appreciated.

the MBR method is not really recommended because of errors after install, you should try and make the disk GUID partition table and then install it for maximum compatibility. Dont worry Win7 and OSX coexist sucsessfully on GUID with no problems

cheers

yup i see it, thanks in advance. but migrate to GUID doesn't make me happy at all, because i have to backup entire data on my hdd. i also still use xp anyway.
so there is another solution?

now im trying to boot from iso file that contains asus k50in boot cd, hope it works.

the second that comes to mind is that you can boot it again through the bootcd and install chameleon onto the first partition ( i think you did that)?
cheers

yes but it still not working because my default bootloader is windows seven, now im try use easybcd 2.0.1 to add macosx entries, i rebooted then met chameleon and chose my mac partition and finally got kernel panic.
it said applecpupowermanagement or something i dont understand. so what should i do with that KP?

thanks

do you have sleepenabler in your extra folder? if so remove it, its known for causing kp`s,

cheers

@flip360 : can you help me with making country stuff ? My locale is ETSI , and country code is PT. atheros 9285 was recognized (not fully) since 10.6.2 , you have to force your own country to have the wifi working

EDIT : It's currently unknown, i try to add it , replace the kext , kextutility , rebooting , and still unknown.

And our wifi problem is the same as the real macs after update to 10.6.2 .
