"boot0: error" after installing Chameleon to the HD

[Cassio]

If you installed ML and after installing Chameleon you get "boot0: error" when booting from HD, here's a way to fix it.

Download Chameleon binaries (i386.zip) and copy boot1h to the root of the USB installer.

If you installed via DVD you can use Disk Utility to restore the ISO to an USB drive, then install Chameleon to it (to make it bootable).

Boot from the USB, open Terminal (Utilities menu) and run

diskutil list

Look for the IDENTIFIER of the OS X partition and run (replace diskXsY by the identifier)

diskutil unmount disk[b]X[/b]s[b]Y[/b]
cd /
dd if=boot1h of=/dev/disk[b]X[/b]s[b]Y[/b] bs=4096

i followed your steps but i got a grey screen saying

"you need to restart your computer. hold down the power button until it turns off, then press the power button again"

and now i still cant find my windows partition.

is there any step that i missed?

Can you boot Windows through the USB installer?

Run this command in terminal and post results

diskutil list

[izzy0402]

fDisk_partition_scheme *750 GB disk0

Windows_LDM 1 MB disk0s1

Windows_LDM 208 MB disk0s2

Windows_LDM 630 GB disk0s3

Apple_HFS OSX 119 GB disk0s4

[Cassio]

I guess Windows_LDM is not supported by OS X, you have to use Windows_NTFS.

[izzy0402]

how do i change ldm to ntfs?

can i use the terminal to change?

how do i boot windows through the usb installer?

will my windows data be all gone?

thanks for your help

You can try this to repair Windows boot

i followed your steps but i got a grey screen saying

"you need to restart your computer. hold down the power button until it turns off, then press the power button again"

Use -v (boot verbose) and post a photo of the screen in the other topic http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1627

i've tried using the startup repair

but it says it cannot repair the pc

it shows error code 0x1f

Problem event name: startup repair offline

problem signature 01: 0.0.0.0

problem signature 02: 0.0.0.0

problem signature 03: unknown

problem signature 04: 0

problem signature 05: unknown

problem signature 06: 1

problem signature 07: unknown

what does the report means?

[Cassio]

I have no idea, never used Windows_LDM.

I would try a Linux live CD or some admin tools (hiren's boot cd) to access and backup data from Windows partition, then re-partition the HD using Windows_NTFS (id 07) and HFS+ (id AF).

not able to boot from hd .error boot0:error

not completely understand boot0:error steps

[iankay]

Hello, I followed the Instructions and added the boot1h to my hdd but after rebooting, the error returns.

However, when I use the -x OS starts and am able to login. any tips on what to do here?

Thanks.

[Cassio]

Which error returns? How can you type -x before boot0?

[iankay]

I use boot from Usb but then select the drive on which 10.8 is installed, then i use -x

If i do not do that it always boots to boot0: error

[Cassio]

Did you follow instructions in first post? dd returned success?

[iankay]

yes dd returned success, but I can always try it out again if need be...

Edit:

I just tried it again and this is the response:

0+1 records in

0+1 records out

1024 bytes transferred in o.001696secs

After rebooting, the boot0: error is back!

Hi all!!

I finally got my ML working great.

I'm now stuck on chameleon part, trying to have dual boot with 2 different HD (SSD for Mountain Lion, and HD for Windows 7)

I tryed the tip at first post, I modified the org.chameleon.plist file with all the possible combinations (chameleon wizard), I downloaded other chameleon versions, and also tryed the same version on the USB installer (r2003) but still nothing.

When I boot from my ML HD, I got panic screen, and the only way to get it booted is from the USB installer.

I had a dual config (Lion/win7) working before, but was installed with iAtkos L2, wich comes with already configured bootloader.

Do you have any idea of what can be the problem?

Is there somebody with a working dual config (Mountain Lion/Windows 7) that can help me, or send me his org.chameleon.plist file?

My config:

MB: ASUS P8P67 PRO rev 3.1

Processor: i5 2500K

RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) KINGSTON HYPERX 1600MHZ

HD (Mountain Lion): SSD OCZ AGILITY3 120GB

HD (Windows 7): WD Black Caviar 2TB

GC: NVIDIA GTX 560ti

Thank you all!

EDIT: I was taking a picture of the KP screen when I saw com.apple.AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement somewhere. I tryed to uninstall that kext and reinstalling it from the extensions.mkext and Voilà!!!

100% Perfectly running ML with dualboot! If someone needs help with the same config as me, I can explain what I did! Thank you again!

@iankay

How did you install Chameleon? Is the OS X partition primary or logic?

@Burnoutagain

If your problem is not "boot0: error", post a picture of the KP screen in the installation topic.

Actually you need to patch that kext http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1003

and use an SSDT.aml to have all CPU multipliers working http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1340&start=10#p12849

I have an Asus G72gx laptop

core2 duo p8700 ich10

nvidia geforce gtx 260m

azalia hd sound

The computer will only boot using usb stick. There is no sound and no multiple monitor support.

when I try to boot normally from hard disk I get the "boot0" error.

When I do the fix for the error, it tries to boot then gets kernal panic regarding acpi

argghhh.. . this is so aggravating. I have read hundreds of forum pages all over the net, tried to make a dsdt.aml file, tried a million different kexts.

Somewhere I saw that ASUS bios always have this power management kernal panic. They made better bios that fixes this problem, but my comp/mobo is like the only one not fixed. ( http://legacy.tonycrapx86.com/viewtopic.php?t=49340)

please someone help me

[artur-pt]

Now I got past the KP ... But when it boots, loads all hfs files, then just reboots to bios.. Can't take picture or see error because there is not enough time

Thoughts?

Still works fine if I boot from USB stick.. What is the difference?
