Chimera v1.4.0 Change Log

It's good to see that the Chameleon team has started porting some of the changes I made from Chimera to the Chameleon 2.0 RC5 trunk. They recently did a major update and added significant new features in trunk revision 833. Some of the changes were enhanced and fixed Sandy Bridge support amongst others. So I went back and integrated my changes into that trunk version and created Chimera v1.4.0.

Starting with this version I will list in detail all changes I've made. All lines starting with a dash will be the name of the affected file starting at the branch root.

General fixes and enhancements:

    I hate to ask a dumb question, but is there a way to either a) boot Chimera from a CD/DVD or b) boot to a CD/DVD from Chimera installed on a disk?

    Does this mean that the Radeon 6950 should work with the ATI6000 kext now?

    Thanks MacMan for all your hard work !!!

    There is one thing that confuses me !

    On TonyMac the rev number is 1.4.1 for the latest update but on your blog its only 1.4.0 ???????

    Best regards
    KMN

    The only difference between 1.4.0 and version 1.4.1 at tonymacx86 is that 1.4.1 is based on a newer trunk revision. The Chimera changes are identical.

    Hi, looks like Chimera can't show FAT32 / FAT32X volumes at the boot menu. It would be nice to have them shown for booting legacy operating systems. Any chance to have this changed/fixed? Or maybe can you give me some pointers to do it myself? (I mean, change the code). Oh, BTW, thank you very much for your hard work! Cheers!

    Hi, I'm having this card from the list above:

    { 0x673E, 0x00000000, CHIP_FAMILY_BARTS, "AMD Radeon HD 6790 Series",
    kNull },

    I only find to download Chimera 1.4.1 and latest Multibeast. And I get Unsuported card. Am I doing something wrong?

  7. MacManx86June 11, 2011 at 11:24 PM

    No, you're not doing anything wrong. Having a card listed in Chimera does not guarantee support in OS X For a card to work it's device ID also needs to be in ATI6000Controlle.kext and ATIRadeonX300.kext

    Hello Mr. Manx86,
    Does this relate to time errors, I just made a new machine and had quite a few problems due to a bad video card but when I finally got it working my clock speeds up. If I reboot it resets with the apple time server but if I leave it running it speeds up. I was reading that problems relating to the boot loader and the fsb speed could be the cause and a couple of years ago you could add the fsb speed to your boot.plist to correct it, any ideas? Thanks, keep up the good work CFI

    Thank you for Chimera, its super stable on my system. Unfortunately Facetime cant be activated on a hackintosh using Chimera and Lion. It works if we use chameleon RC5 755 instead. It would be great if you could fix this so we can use facetime in Lion with Chimera.
    Thank you so much.

    Hi. I also have Radeon HD 6790 card.

    What do you mean "device ID also needs to be in ATI6000Controlle.kext and ATIRadeonX300.kext "??

    Can I somehow "put the Device ID" in those kexts to get it to work?
