Issue 197: Latest trunk using Chameleon Wizard with 10.7.1 and 10.7.2 update desktop freezes. Went away with latest Chimera 1.5.4 r1394. - Chameleon open source boot loader project.

Reported by Osxfr33k, Oct 26, 2011

Azimutz added my card many revisions ago back around r1115

Netkas CL hack applied before updating to latest Chameleon.  10.7.2 
requires a different hex string hack which I made no problems there.

Asus G74SX Nvidia GTX 560M
Here is the Log after the freeze:

Can someone have a look into this to see why the Chimera tree is not 
freezing with this card and yet the Chameleon r1657 trunk is?

Anyone else have a screen freeze with Trunk r1657 and GTX 560M?

Thanks

After looking into this with some more detail there could be some 
issue with VMWARE/Chameleon/Chimera since Chimera did one freeze the 
other day but only one observed when I had Vmware open running 
windows 7 64 bit.Could actually even be USB3 related but please make 
sure this graphics card is being updated with the new releases.  No 
problems with Oracle Virtual Box so far with Windows 7 64 bit.  Will 
continue to test.  Thanks

chimera/chameleon same thing.
Once your card was added, it's done.
