do u know why?

i tried this on my SL,

and sorry for my poor english, hope u will understand

Try using only the modules that you need (hello world isn't ment to be used on a production environment, it is a test...).
It should work on Snow Leopard and older too (I use it on my netbook for both Lion and SL)

Tx Guys Real Good Job so far

I'm not sure AtiConfig= is implemented on this boot loader (I'll check later).
Kernelpatcher = kernel auto patcher for stuff like cpuid, etc... it's for allowing Atom boot on default kernel, etc...

TX for quick answer ....

well i hope someone jumps in for AMD fanboys and makes us vanilla

but AtiConfig is Needed very mucho

I'll check and update the sources later (when I have the time) so you have this feature too...

That would be the best if amd get´s vanilla.

Thanks for all your improvement.

Personally I use the SMBIOSPatcher, ACPIPatcher, Resolution, GUI, USB, etc... modules.
Only the essentials.
Hello world isn't required ofcourse

You can enable P and C states with a boot flag (isn't stored in my brain so I'll have to look it up

)
ACPIMini is only DSDT patching (not needed if you use ACPIPatcher).
Helloworld is a little example of how a module can be written (not needed).
KextPatcher is used to patch modules like AppleIntelGMA950 etc....
Resolution auto detects the best boot resolution for Intel, NVidia and ATI cards.
Symbols is the collection of all modules (which is required if you use modules).

Thanks for your answer!
So I can use 'GenerateCStates=Yes' & 'GeneratePStates=Yes' with this bootloader?
And is 'UseKernelCache=Yes' also supported?

Yes they should all work.
Kernel cache support is integrated into this booter (for both SL and older as well as Lion).

Okay, thanks again!
One last question: What's the difference between the SMBiosGetters and SMBiosPatcher modules?

If I don't use a smbios.plist do I need any of these 2?

If you don't use a smbios.plist you use SMBiosGetters for auto-detecting best smbios override values.
If you do use a smbios.plist (have one present and filled) you use SMBiosPatcher instead.

I still can't boot with this loader:

With the AcpiPatcher module my PC reboots before the Apple bootscreen.
Also if I use the AcpiMini module.

When I don't use any of these 2 my system boots correctly, but I get KP after the login screen (My DSDT isn't loaded I think)
