hi again, tried your method of fixing boot0: error but when booting from hdd still getting boot0: error...however from windows 8 bootloader i can select my osx partition(on a separate hdd) computer then goes through boot sequence again this time with boot0: done from there i am looking at the chameleon boot prompt where i can select my os x partition and use bootflags -v -f GraphicsEnabler=Yes and now on 10.8.3 without using the usb stick my system has one 80gb sata hdd(exclusively windows8) and one 500gb sata hdd(first partition is ntfs, second partition is fat32, third partition is hfs+ journaled) i installed boot0md to the windows 8 partition with chameleon wizard and can boot mac from there ...no disabler no fakesmc(replaced with appledecrypt.kext) edit: ...just wanted to say thanks for the installer, and your time...my methods may be mad, but we all must work with what we have

...well, finally a normal startup ...and i'm not entirely sure why... first off, i switched fakesmc.kext with ANV's appledecrypt.kext, rebooted again to safe mode...while in safe mode i edited info.plist of geforce.kext adding the line osbundlerequired/string/root at the end of the file, so it would load in safe mode(that gave me graphics acceleration in safe mode on a restart) finally, in a last-ditch attempt i plugged in the usb installer and booted from it(using 1 at boot to use chameleon) to the new installation, using bootflags at boot prompt -v -f GraphicsEnabler=Yes and presto! a clean boot without -x...now to figure out why this worked edit: seems when i boot from the usb installer i load fakesmc from the usb stick and appledecrypt from my extensions folder...

...thanks for the reply, i know it's something simple(the graphics do seem likely as i get NVDAStartup, NVDAResman, and GF100 loading in safe mode, but curiously GeForce.kext does not) ...i'll look in the info.plist of geforce.kext before i remove anything...(may have to add my GT 430 ids) i'll post back

...hmmm, it seems i can't even boot from the install usb unless i use safe mode...something wrong here...i just booted the install usb and getting the same hang "waiting for system mapper"

sorry can't post a pic, but the last thing onscreen is waiting for systemmapper then a backtrace(this when using clover or chameleon from usb) ...boot0:error happens when trying to boot from hdd with chameleon...thanks

...hey, seems i can only boot in safe mode here...thinking this is a known problem...but not sure...as our friend says..."good hack"
