| 13 | Change: added "hands off" setting of EFI32 values, for 32 bit only processors.␊ |
| 14 | ␉␉Works according to the architecture in use, either chosen by the booter or forced by user.␊ |
| 15 | Note: on pre 10.6 systems, the default EFI values used for 64 bit processors while booting i386 arch␊ |
| 16 | ␉␉(normal arch on these systems) will still be EFI64, which causes absolutely no problem.␊ |
| 17 | ␉␉EFI32 values still can be forced by using the respective booter flag.␊ |
| 18 | ␉␉Tested only on Leopard.␊ |
| 19 | ␊ |

| 33 | ␉␉␊ |
| 34 | ␉␉i get extra characters that don't belong to the Part Number, according to CPU-Z or␊ |
| 35 | ␉␉Everest. This is consistent on the 2 brands of modules i own, Qimonda & Kingston␊ |
| 36 | ␉␉and others i saw on some user reports.␊ |
| 37 | ␉␉If someone wishes to test this, contact me and i'll cook a booter to help confirm␊ |
| 38 | ␉␉(or deny) this behavior.␊ |

| 40 | ␉␉---------------//---------------//---------------␊ |
| 41 | ␊ |
| 42 | - (rev 321)␊ |
| 43 | Change: a change that got hidden on this commit; changed RestartFix from true to false, by default.␊ |
| 44 | ␊ |
| 45 | Motif: this goes against one of my "Guide Lines" for the booter! (check README on doc-azi).␊ |
| 46 | ␉␉It's absolutely not needed by all users! If someone proves me that this is needed by more␊ |
| 47 | ␉␉of 50% of the motherboards Chameleon will ever enconter, then i'll change it back to true ;)␊ |
| 48 | ␉␉There's a key for this and i'm not afraid to use it.␊ |
| 49 | ␊ |
| 50 | ␉␉---------------//---------------//---------------␊ |
| 51 | ␊ |
| 52 | - (rev 335)␊ |
| 53 | Change: merged the educational side of arch=i386 + the practical one of -x32, into a simple 32 flag.␊ |
| 54 | ␉␉Type just 32 to get you booted into i386 arch.␊ |
| 55 | ␊ |
| 56 | Note: only useful on 64 bit processors.␊ |
| 57 | ␊ |
| 58 | Motif: 2 keys to do the same, should never had happen!␊ |
| 59 | ␉␉I really think that arch=i386 is a more "educational" designation, since what we're really␊ |
| 60 | ␉␉doing here is select an architecture to boot, but reading the Chameleon TODO "Integrate...␊ |
| 61 | ␉␉quick shortcut modified version of 18seven" and knowing that these shortcuts use the 3 + 2␊ |
| 62 | ␉␉key combination to select i386 arch, why not extend it to the prompt boot!?␊ |
| 63 | ␊ |
| 64 | ␉␉---------------//---------------//---------------␊ |
| 65 | ␊ |
| 66 | - (rev 335)␊ |
| 67 | Change: added -legacy kernel flag. This flag tells the booter to load i386 arch before is passed to␊ |
| 68 | ␉␉the kernel. This only needs to be done on Snow Leopard.␊ |
| 69 | ␉␉Type -legacy to get you booted into i386 arch, Legacy Mode.␊ |
| 70 | ␊ |
| 71 | Note: only useful on 64 bit processors.␊ |
| 72 | Note: this is not really needed; typing "32 -legacy" (no quotes) does the trick. It's just handy!␊ |
| 73 | ␊ |
| 74 | Note: just out of curiosity and for those who don't know, Legacy Mode is in fact the mode used␊ |
| 75 | ␉␉by 32 bit "only" processors! Since the OS X kernel can handle 64 bit apps even on i386 arch,␊ |
| 76 | ␉␉64 bit processors need this flag to disable any handling of 64 bit instructions, when␊ |
| 77 | ␉␉"emulating" a full 32 bit environment.␊ |
| 78 | ␊ |
| 79 | Motif: this flag was not being passed on 10.6.x; the reason why is on the kernel code, Legacy Mode␊ |
| 80 | ␉␉is only available under i386 arch. So, while testing Meklort's kernel patcher,␊ |
| 81 | ␉␉i felt the need to add the key. Maybe i'll remove it later?!␊ |
| 82 | ␊ |
| 83 | ␉␉---------------//---------------//---------------␊ |
| 84 | ␊ |
| 85 | - (rev 335)␊ |
| 86 | Change: added 64 bit flag to keep company to the 32 one :)␊ |
| 87 | ␉␉Type just 64 to get you booted into x86_64 arch.␊ |
| 88 | ␊ |
| 89 | Motif: mainly to override 32 or -legacy if they are flagged on the Boot.plist.␊ |
| 90 | ␉␉Like -legacy, was born while testing kernel builds.␊ |
| 91 | ␊ |
| 92 | ␉␉---------------//---------------//---------------␊ |
| 93 | ␊ |
| 94 | - (rev 336)␊ |
| 95 | Change: removed 3 keys to handle PCI Root UID, two of them with exact same code (PCIRootUID & PciRoot).␊ |
| 96 | ␉␉Kept just the already existing PciRoot=X, plus the new code.␊ |
| 97 | ␊ |
| 98 | Motif: These many keys, should never had happened!␊ |
| 99 | ␉␉This came along when the Asere code was ported to Chameleon, but even on Asere's booter,␊ |
| 100 | ␉␉what's the need? None!␊ |
| 101 | ␉␉The only key in use on his booter is PCIRootUID. The rest is commented out.␊ |
