| Change: added "hands off" setting of EFI32 values, for 32 bit only processors.␊ |
| ␉␉Works according to the architecture in use, either chosen by the booter or forced by user.␊ |
| Note: on pre 10.6 systems, the default EFI values used for 64 bit processors while booting i386 arch␊ |
| ␉␉(normal arch on these systems) will still be EFI64, which causes absolutely no problem.␊ |
| ␉␉EFI32 values still can be forced by using the respective booter flag.␊ |
| ␉␉Tested only on Leopard.␊ |

| ␉␉␉break;␊ |
| ␉␉␊ |
| ␉␉i get extra characters that don't belong to the Part Number, according to CPU-Z or␊ |
| ␉␉Everest. This is consistent on the 2 brands of modules i own, Qimonda & Kingston␊ |
| ␉␉and others i saw on some user reports.␊ |
| ␉␉If someone wishes to test this, contact me and i'll cook a booter to help confirm␊ |
| ␉␉(or deny) this behavior.␊ |

| - (rev 321)␊ |
| Change: a change that got hidden on this commit; changed RestartFix from true to false, by default.␊ |
| ␊ |
| Motif: this goes against one of my "Guide Lines" for the booter! (check README on doc-azi).␊ |
| ␉␉It's absolutely not needed by all users! If someone proves me that this is needed by more␊ |
| ␉␉of 50% of the motherboards Chameleon will ever enconter, then i'll change it back to true ;)␊ |
| ␉␉There's a key for this and i'm not afraid to use it.␊ |
| ␊ |
| ␉␉---------------//---------------//---------------␊ |
| ␊ |
| - (rev 335)␊ |
| Change: merged the educational side of arch=i386 + the practical one of -x32, into a simple 32 flag.␊ |
| ␉␉Type just 32 to get you booted into i386 arch.␊ |
| ␊ |
| Note: only useful on 64 bit processors.␊ |
| ␊ |
| Motif: 2 keys to do the same, should never had happen!␊ |
| ␉␉I really think that arch=i386 is a more "educational" designation, since what we're really␊ |
| ␉␉doing here is select an architecture to boot, but reading the Chameleon TODO "Integrate...␊ |
| ␉␉quick shortcut modified version of 18seven" and knowing that these shortcuts use the 3 + 2␊ |
| ␉␉key combination to select i386 arch, why not extend it to the prompt boot!?␊ |
| ␊ |
| ␉␉---------------//---------------//---------------␊ |
| ␊ |
| - (rev 335)␊ |
| Change: added -legacy kernel flag. This flag tells the booter to load i386 arch before is passed to␊ |
| ␉␉the kernel. This only needs to be done on Snow Leopard.␊ |
| ␉␉Type -legacy to get you booted into i386 arch, Legacy Mode.␊ |
| ␊ |
| Note: only useful on 64 bit processors.␊ |
| Note: this is not really needed; typing "32 -legacy" (no quotes) does the trick. It's just handy!␊ |
| ␊ |
| Note: just out of curiosity and for those who don't know, Legacy Mode is in fact the mode used␊ |
| ␉␉by 32 bit "only" processors! Since the OS X kernel can handle 64 bit apps even on i386 arch,␊ |
| ␉␉64 bit processors need this flag to disable any handling of 64 bit instructions, when␊ |
| ␉␉"emulating" a full 32 bit environment.␊ |
| ␊ |
| Motif: this flag was not being passed on 10.6.x; the reason why is on the kernel code, Legacy Mode␊ |
| ␉␉is only available under i386 arch. So, while testing Meklort's kernel patcher,␊ |
| ␉␉i felt the need to add the key. Maybe i'll remove it later?!␊ |
| ␊ |
| ␉␉---------------//---------------//---------------␊ |
| ␊ |
| - (rev 335)␊ |
| Change: added 64 bit flag to keep company to the 32 one :)␊ |
| ␉␉Type just 64 to get you booted into x86_64 arch.␊ |
| ␊ |
| Motif: mainly to override 32 or -legacy if they are flagged on the Boot.plist.␊ |
| ␉␉Like -legacy, was born while testing kernel builds.␊ |
| ␊ |
| ␉␉---------------//---------------//---------------␊ |
| ␊ |
| - (rev 336)␊ |
| Change: removed 3 keys to handle PCI Root UID, two of them with exact same code (PCIRootUID & PciRoot).␊ |
| ␉␉Kept just the already existing PciRoot=X, plus the new code.␊ |
| ␊ |
| Motif: These many keys, should never had happened!␊ |
| ␉␉This came along when the Asere code was ported to Chameleon, but even on Asere's booter,␊ |
| ␉␉what's the need? None!␊ |
| ␉␉The only key in use on his booter is PCIRootUID. The rest is commented out.␊ |
