Update: Due to issues with Chameleon RC4 when upgrading Snow Leopard, this guide has been reverted back to Chameleon RC3.
**Post updated with Chameleon RC4 files**
Chameleon, the widely used bootloader among hackintosh users, is out with yet another update. This latest version ditches that ugly, white text/black background and upgrades to 100% sexy. In addition to aesthetic improvements, functionality was also added; you will now see a logo for each Operating System choice. Plus, non-bootable partitions are no longer displayed, along with the option to selectively hide partitions. RC4 mostly boasts behind the scenes updates, with the exception of the hidden partition option. You can see the official release notes here.
Now that you’ve been informed, download the file and follow the instructions below. Pay close attention as these instructions have changed from previous versions of Chameleon.
1. Make sure the untarred folder is on your desktop.
2. Open Terminal and type “diskutil list” w/o the quotes
3. Find the partition with OS X installed on it and remember its identifier ie. rdisk0s1
4. Type cd /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Desktop/Chameleon-2.0-RC3-r658-bin/i386 but replacing YOURUSERNAME with, you guessed it, your username.
5. Copy and paste the following commands into terminal but replacing the Xs in the second command with the numbers from step 3.
sudo fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdiskX
sudo dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsX
sudo cp boot /
6. Reboot
***For those that had any custom settings in com.apple.boot.plist – this file will remain untouched so any boot flags or other stuff you may have added will still be used at boot***

Don’t mind, its just that it has been downloading for nearly 10 hours already, and has several more hours to go. I am going to leave and go home. Hopefully it will have downloaded by the AM.
Do you know how large the ISO file is when burning to DVD? My Apple G4 does not have a DL drive, only DVD Read, Write and RW.
Thanks.
June 21st, 2010 at 7:02 PM
I don’t know the exact size, though I do know that it will fit on a standard single layer DVD. And I have a G4 as well, though I no longer use it (it’s way too slow).
June 20th, 2010 at 7:04 PM
Thanks for the quick reply, but I can’t boot into the iATKOS DVD.
Thomas Says:
June 20th, 2010 at 6:44 pm
You’ll need to create a dummy HFS+ partition to house the bootloader. The partition can be <5MB, though I believe there is a limit on size, so you'll want to create the smallest one you can.
DONE.
Then boot to the iAtkos DVD and use Terminal DVD to run these commands to install Chameleon onto the HFS+ partition.
The reason I cannot boot into the iATKOS DVD is that I keep getting the "still waiting for root device" message, since I cannot use AHCI (or was that ACHI, getting confusing).
I am hoping there is a way of doing this without having to use OS X terminal. Have 32 and 64 bit versions of Ultimate Edition 2.7 (an offshoot distribution from Ubuntu). If I misunderstood your directions, I am sorry. If not, hoping you have another suggested method for installing Chameleon without OS X available.
June 20th, 2010 at 7:41 PM
If you don’t mind downloading another distro, I know that iPC 10.5.6 supports booting non-AHCI (IDE) HDD’s. It will allow you access to Terminal to install Chameleon.
June 20th, 2010 at 6:40 PM
I cannot use iATKOS S3 v1 or v2 since my motherboard is an EVGA 780I with nFORCE 755. EVGA makes clear on their website that you cannot change SATA or RAID to ACHI.
I have downloaded Chameleon (latest RC4) and love it as a bootloader, and several themes found on other websites.
I have read many threads on various websites (including Gringo’s thread), and cannot find any that explain if you can install Chameleon on a PC that does not have a hackintosh installation.
Is it possible to install Chameleon from Ubuntu into a partition (using GUID, not MBR) and have it recognize my various linux partitions?
With iATKOS S3 disc in my dvd-writer, booting up off of DVD, F8 and voila, it sees iATKOS DVD as well as my linux partitions (installed with grub2 on same partitions as distributions, not in MBR).

Hi there, I had a question about this, does performing this process add other boot entries to the chameleon boot menu? Say Windows 7 or Linux if they are installed on other disks?
June 12th, 2010 at 2:49 PM
Chameleon will automatically add an entry for any version of Windows. To add an entry for Linux you must follow this guide.
April 13th, 2010 at 4:17 AM
Well this is a litle different to what I thought about bc there is no OS installed yet. It is a blank hd…
April 12th, 2010 at 4:52 AM
Thanks Thomas I will try this one.
At this time I also tried some other Ways. For example i followed this tutorial:
http://www.taranfx.com/install-snow-leopard-on-pc-easy
but allways get an instant reboot. Even though i followed this step:
AHCI Mode: SATA RAID/AHCI Mode should be set to AHCI.
Then I read that it is because I am using an external harddrive instead of an USB thumb drive and that a external hd has to be set as active.
Any idea since I didn’t get chameleon to work?
April 12th, 2010 at 1:57 PM
To get Snow Leopard installed, follow this tutorial.
April 9th, 2010 at 6:39 AM
Hello guys,
I’ve had some issues with the chameleon bootloader and asked in several forums allready, but there was no real help.
I tried different boot isos from cd and usb but all came out with the same problem:
starting the computer, shows the chameleon surface. Shows chameleon and Mac (even though the disk is blank and mac osx isn’t installed yet!). So that’s the part when I put in my original Snow Leopard 10.6 dvd.
I’ve seen a tutorial where you just have to put in ur boot cd (or usb stick) and when the chameleon surface shows up you just put in your snow dvd.
In my case it seems like if the bootmanager can’t find the disk, because the snowleopard dvd isn’t shown on the surface.
Might someone tell me where I do wrong?
Kind regards
Okami
PS: sorry if my english sounds kinda funny sometimes, but I’m writing from Germany.
April 9th, 2010 at 8:51 AM
Okami- There’s an awesome guide on creating a BootCD with the rescan prompt (allows you to boot a retail OS X disc) here. It may just be enough to read the bottom of the first post as you already have a working boot132 CD.
January 18th, 2010 at 9:45 AM
Hello Thomas,
thanks for your response.
It didn’t work.
I’ve checked if the boot file was really copied to / comparing the timestamps:
sudo cp -p boot / (added -p)
The file really went to /…
cat /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist
Kernel
mach_kernel
Kernel Flags
Timeout
10
January 18th, 2010 at 11:11 AM
Try reinstalling Chameleon RC4 following this guide and see if it resolves your issue. Also, trying copying your com.apple.boot.plist to the Extra folder in the root of your HDD.
January 15th, 2010 at 8:24 AM
Hello Thomas,
nice tutorial… :)
I still have one problem: chameleon won’t show up at boot time…
Mac OS is directly booted.
I’m using Mac OS X 10.6 and Ubuntu 9.10.
I followed the steps you specified in this post “Booting Ubuntu With The Chameleon Bootloader!”
I am completely new to Mac and installed the chameleon boot 3 times without changes, any clues?
January 15th, 2010 at 12:44 PM
Nysos- Try copying the lines from this file to your com.apple.boot.plist (found in the Extra folder in the root of your hard drive). If the file isn’t in your Extra folder, it will be in Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration.
January 13th, 2010 at 2:55 AM
Dear Thomas,
I tried it and the commands worked fine this time, but when i restarted, i got three options at chemloeon at the boot time.
1) Linux,
2) Leaopord
When i select Linux, it loads grubu correctly, but when i select Leaopord, nothing loads up, only one message says Loading Darwin and thats it, but there is no real loading CPU is halted etc. This is when i tried with RC4.
But when I install chemloan version1, it does not show any boot time options for Linux etc and loads Mac OS straight away and i get to the Login screen as desired.
Can you please point further out about RC4 setup?
January 13th, 2010 at 7:00 AM
Verify that OS X is the active/boot partition (Using GParted in Linux), and then reinstall Chameleon.If this doesn’t work then it may be beneficial to attempt to install Chameleon RC3. Also, which Linux distro are you using?
January 8th, 2010 at 3:00 PM
Dear Thomas,
I setup grub correctly from inside ubuntu on its own partition instead of MBR. Then i booted in OSx and fired the following command, i get the resource busy message and chameoleon RC4 could not be installed.
$ sudo fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/disk0s4
Password:
fdisk: /dev/disk0s4: Resource busy
Any clue to resolve it out as grub is still the default loader in absence of chameoleon
January 8th, 2010 at 4:11 PM
Don’t forget the r in front of the Disk Identifier. So you should be entering “sudo fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk0s4″

in the bootloader menu, is there any way to hide this partition?
thanks a lot

Will chameleon bootloader have Google Chrome OS Support?
Because it should, Its apparently coming out very soon now and I want to be one of the first to start using it.
October 4th, 2009 at 1:16 AM
Hi Thomas,
Using a Boot-132 method, I’ve installed Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6) onto my PC laptop.
However, despite finding 64bit kexts, I can’t seem to install them with Kext Utility or Kext Helper; the message tells me that everything installed fine and that I would need a reboot, but the devices still don’t work. (I am using the 64bit versions of kexts I used with 10.5.7 eg. AttansicL1eEthernet -> AttansicL1eEthernet_SL).
Any ideas?
Also, if I use my Boot-132 Mars disk (Boot132 with Chameleon bootloader), I can boot into my Snow Leopard installation. However, if I try to install Chameleon 2.0 RC3, I get Chameleon to show up at boot, but like others who commented, I get stuck at the grey screen with the Apple logo, with the wheel spinning continuously until the computer decides to shut itself off.
Any ideas for this too?
Thanks,
Coluwyvurne
October 4th, 2009 at 10:06 AM
Sorry but I can’t provide support for Boot-132 installs as I have never tried one myself so I wouldn’t know where to begin in troubleshooting.
September 15th, 2009 at 8:20 AM
Can you please point me to some document describing how to install OS X 10.6 using Chameleon on a PC which currently only runs Vista ? The guide aboth assumes that I already have a hackintosh…
September 15th, 2009 at 12:50 PM
Although a little more time consuming, you can follow the other guides on this site and then use our Snow Leopard guide afterwards.
September 13th, 2009 at 10:15 PM
awesome. thanks
September 13th, 2009 at 7:07 PM
ok, I screwed up and did what Hawered did, but can’t get back into my OS. How can I fix this and re-install?
September 13th, 2009 at 7:25 PM
To get back in, you can use either a Chameleon Boot CD, Boot-132 disc, or even an iPC/Kalyway/other leopard install disc. For the Leopard Install disc, don’t click anything after selecting to “Boot from DVD” and it will automatically load Leopard. Then, reinstall Chameleon but make sure to type the disk identifier as you see it (ie. rdisk0s1). You probably forgot to include the r which is why it would have returned an error message when running the command in Terminal.
September 3rd, 2009 at 1:26 PM
Thank you. Whenever I did the repair, it would still require that choose Vista and then from the Vista loader choose Win 7. I don’t know if I was doing something wrong. I actually was able to figure it out. Here is what I did:
Flagged my Win 7 partition as active and then did the repair on Win 7. This put BOOTMGR on my Win 7 partition. I then used EasyBCDEDIT to edit the Win 7 bootloader and set Win 7 as the default OS with a timeout of 0. I then changed Vista back to the active partition, reinstalled chameleon and that seemed to boot without having to choose between Vista and Win 7 a second timet. Thanks for the help.
September 3rd, 2009 at 6:49 PM
Glad you got your issue resolved.
September 2nd, 2009 at 7:51 PM
Thomas, love your site, you seem to know your stuff. I was intrigued with your response to pcmanfan back on Apr. 19 about how you are mutlibooting OS X, Vista, and Win 7. This is exactly what I am trying to do, but can only boot to Win 7 if I select Vista (it then brings me to the Vista bootloader and gives me the option there. If I select Win 7 directly from Chameleon, it tells me that “BOOTMANAGER is missing”. I would rather have Chameleon boot straight to the partition and bypass any Windows bootloader or second OS selector. Here is my setup:
HD1: Vista, Windows 7
HD2: OSX
Computer boots to HD2 first which has chameleon. Vista and OS X are both marked as active. Do you have any ideas on how to get this to work? Thanks a lot.
September 3rd, 2009 at 1:09 AM
To fix the Windows 7 error, boot to the Windows Install Disc and click repair. It should automatically correct the error. You will then need to boot back into OS X and reinstall Chameleon. As for only using Chameleon to boot, I’m not sure if its possible as I’ve never tried (Nor have I had to) but look up how to remove the Windows 7 and Windows Vista bootloaders. This way, your HD1 won’t have any Bootloaders and HD2 will have Chameleon.
July 28th, 2009 at 12:43 AM
Thanx so much, I’ll let you kno how I go. The main issue is the blue screen coz I can’t see what I’m doing.
July 27th, 2009 at 11:27 PM
With those flags, I asume I am booting like that from the single user mode? Something like boot -x -v -f. ? Or just straight from chameleon?
The earlier version of chameleon RC1 does that have an interface? Because it was an automatic boot. And here’s another thought I had. The blue screen I’m having, well before that came for some reason my computer said it was fixing dir permissions. That task didn’t complete. Could the lack of completion there have caused the blue screen?
July 28th, 2009 at 12:15 AM
You do that straight from Chameleon. As soon as you see the chameleon screen, hit the space bar and then type -x -v -f. Then press enter and it should boot. This boot will take a long time, possibly up to 3 minutes, so be patient and let it do its thing. And in case you are wondering, -x cause it to go to safe mode, -v causes it to verbose so you can see whats going on, and -f forces it to load all kexts.
Now to your questions: Chameleon RC1 looks exactly identical to RC2 with the same interface and everything. The fixing dir permissions issue could have caused the blue screen although I’ll look into that further to be sure.
July 27th, 2009 at 9:26 PM
Ok, so I come up with the option to boot so I say boot. At the screen where users normally enter their username and password, it is all working except the screen is blue. Completey blue. I can see nothing, but everything is working. Previously before chameleon it would work absolutely fine. So it wasn’t a bad hackintosh job. I’m not sure how it booted before, it just loaded straight into os x.
July 27th, 2009 at 9:33 PM
You definitely had Chameleon before, just an earlier version, most likely RC1. It is most likely coincidental though that this happened when you installed the new Chameleon becuase Chameleon would not and could not cause this. Try booting with the -x -v -f flags and see if you are able to boot properly.
July 27th, 2009 at 6:05 PM
A. I don’t have permissions
b. I don’t want chameleon to be the one loading os.
Chameleon is the one giving me the blue screen
surely there is a way to remove chameleons booting?
Thanx for your help Thomas, I just hope we get a soluion soon.
July 27th, 2009 at 8:02 PM
Without Chameleon there will be no way to load your OS. And I’m not quite sure which screen you are referring to.
July 27th, 2009 at 2:02 AM
I have no version of windows installed at all. Just mac osx86 10.5.7.
Previously it was just loading up, pretty much the same as a normal mac,
so how do I now go back, undo whatever chameleon has done?
Thanx
July 27th, 2009 at 9:42 AM
In this case, you can change how long it takes before Chameleon automatically boots to the primary OS (OS X). Changing the timeout will cause it to boot almost instantly. To do so, navigate to the Extra folder in the root of your HDD. There should be a com.apple.boot.plist in that folder. If there is, drag/copy the file to your desktop. If there isn’t, navigate to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ and copy the com.apple.boot.plist to your Desktop. Now, open the com.apple.boot.plist that is on your desktop in Text Editor. Some where in the middle of the file you should see the words “Timeout” and then on the next line there will be a number. All you need to do is change that number to 0. Then save the file back to your desktop. Next, Navigate to the /Extra/ folder again and this time copy the com.apple.boot.plist on your Desktop and paste it in this folder (Even if you didn’t previously have a com.apple.boot.plist in this folder you still need to put the new one here). Now reboot and you should see a change.
July 26th, 2009 at 7:29 PM
How do I remove chameleon? I installed it and want to go back, it’s not for me. I have a msi wind u100 plus running 10.5.7 please help. I cannot boot anymore because it stays on blue screen. Help to *email removed*
July 26th, 2009 at 9:09 PM
There are no actual remove instructions for Chameleon, as is with most boot loaders, although you can overwrite it. The process is different depending on which bootloader you would like to switch to so I am going to tell you how to replace Chameleon with the Vista/Windows 7 bootloader (Assuming that you have one of those installed of course). Its actually very simple to do. Just boot to your Vista/7 install disc and click on “Repair” and it should automatically reinstall the bootloader for you. If it says that it was unable to repair your disk or that no operating systems were found then you need to get a GParted Live CD. Just boot to it, setup your Windows partition with the “boot” flag, and then do the Windows install disc process again. Let me know if you have any more problems.
July 20th, 2009 at 1:26 PM
Ignore me, I have been a tool…..found it by playing around a bit.
July 20th, 2009 at 7:03 PM
Alrighty then… Let me know if you have any other problems.
July 20th, 2009 at 8:29 AM
This may seem really stupid, but worked out that I have been having problems updating as I have not been doing the following commands -v and -f …..but the issue is I am not sure when to put these in. Before I installed Chameleon I would get the darwin bootloader and press f8 (i think) and then insert the correct flag……but not sure how to do this with the new chameleon boot loader….might sound rather stupid but thought I would ask.
Cheers.
Neal
June 15th, 2009 at 1:16 PM
Installed the new chameleon, if I run windows it boots fine, but now if I try to boot OSX, it will get stuck on the screen with the apple, if I run with -v , it will be fine all the way up to a firewire error(which is normal) and then just stop. Any ideas?
June 15th, 2009 at 2:34 PM
That doesn’t sound so much of a Chameleon as it does an issue with OS X. it may just be a coincidence that it happened right after you install Chameleon. Try booting with -f -v and see if you get any further.
June 8th, 2009 at 1:18 AM
Can this new chameleon boot os’s off of different drives, b/c my osx is on a seperate hardrive than my windows and linux
June 8th, 2009 at 5:30 AM
Yes, it can boot OS’s off of other drives. I have tested it myself and it works fine when booting to an OS on my External HDD when Chameleon is on my Internal HDD.
May 23rd, 2009 at 9:54 PM
Geoff- To do so, you can use a LiveCD such as GParted Live to set OS X as the active partition.
May 23rd, 2009 at 7:00 PM
I managed to get it accidently once before, but several installs later i cannot seem to get it to work and now bounce between chameleon and easybcd bootloaders with easyBCD taking priority. How do i set OSX to the active partition without slaying windows?
May 23rd, 2009 at 3:23 PM
assente- There should not be any problems just as long as you follow the guide at http://www.dailyblogged.com/1028/booting-ubuntu-with-the-chameleon-bootloader/
May 23rd, 2009 at 2:39 PM
are there any problem if linux is on ext4?
May 14th, 2009 at 10:05 PM
Installed OS X on a friends computer and found myself using my own post and files for instructions. Thanks Thomas!
May 5th, 2009 at 9:02 PM
The difference is that with the installer, you can only install to the partition you are booted from. With the manual install, you can install to another HFS Partition. For your purposes though, the installer should be fine.
May 5th, 2009 at 8:54 PM
Hey Thomas, Thnx a lot 4 ur awesome post and helping me out through the other post, any way i just wanna ask u about the pkg installer
is there any difference between the manual way ( through terminal) and the installer Pkg?( As You know i am new to the mac world and i don’t wanna mess up any thing, although ur method sounds easy , i just wanna know the difference).
May 2nd, 2009 at 3:33 PM
Well good luck with the new job. Your issue could be either related to the BIOS not loading the keyboard or Chameleon itself so whenever you can let me know so we can troubleshoot.
May 2nd, 2009 at 11:17 AM
^ the fap partition. we all have one.lol.
hey, i got a new one for you guys! for whatever reason, chameleon doesn’t notice when i press the “any” key while that little blue bar is turning white. i could really see this being a problem if something screws up my main partition, and i’m unable to boot to my backup partition.
god knows when i’ll be able to get on here next, i’m packing my isht and setting out on the road. driving from ca to md for a new job and i have no idea when i’ll get interwebs. there’s always starbucks and driving around looking for free wifi to steal, so it shouldn’t be too long, though.
April 29th, 2009 at 5:07 PM
I researched the issue and it seems that it is possible but no one knows how. I wish I knew because I also have a partition of my own that I want to hide.
April 29th, 2009 at 4:32 PM
up and running, gorgeous as all hell. Working on customizing the theme now, will let you guys know if I come up with anything impressive.
Question- does anyone know an easy way to hide partitions so they don’t show up on the boot screen? I have an HFS storage partition and an NTFS page file partition I don’t want to see on boot.
April 28th, 2009 at 2:45 PM
Good! Backup… thats smart.
April 28th, 2009 at 1:13 PM
oh my dear sweet jesus, I can’t believe I didn’t notice this until now! A pretty GUI bootloader is something I’ve been waiting for since I started dual booting osx86!
will try start playing with this asap, soon as I can backup
April 21st, 2009 at 2:20 PM
It is supposed to list NTFS instead of the actual name of the Windows partition so that’s normal. But please do post a screenshot of what you see when trying to boot Vista or Windows 7
April 21st, 2009 at 11:16 AM
@Thomas, If I used Chameleon- in other words reinstall it onto Os X Partition and change the Os X Partition attribute to Active-; I could boot into Os X. On the other hand, when I select Vista or 7, all I get was a black screen with a character (similar to the MS Dos prompt) and it just hang at that screen. I also noticed that although it (Chameleon) recognized all my Windows partitions, however they (Vista and 7) are listed as NTSF instead of the actual name of these partition (Vista, Windows7)…I’ll post a screen hot of it when I get home tonight.
April 20th, 2009 at 3:38 PM
Chameleon is only installed onto the OS X partition, not the entire drive. This means that the only way you will see Chameleon upon turning on your computer is if OS X is set to the active partition. Repairing Windows from the disc will most likely damage Chameleon and then set the Windows partition to active. This is why you no longer see Chameleon after doing a “repair” from the disc. What exactly happens when you try to boot to a Windows parition from Chameleon because you said “I cant boot into either of Vista or 7″ because this seems like the only true issue you are having.
April 20th, 2009 at 3:09 PM
@Thomas and Nathan—-can you guys provide me with your configuration of your partitions? I believe my configuraton/partitions are as following: Vista (Primary-NTSF), 7 (Primary-NTSF), OSX (Primary-Mac OS Extended (Journaled) – FLAG as ACTIVE partition) and Shared_Storage (FAT32). All these partition are on 1.5TB Drive <—Could this be an issue? Are you guys have it on one drive or 2 more drives? Also, when I do a repair (Installation DVD) on Vista or 7- I could boot into either of them just fine. However Chameleon is not active anymore, in other words I do not see the Chameleon boot screen after repaired Windows boot loader with the DVD. If I reinstall Chameleon, I could see it regconized all the partitions, but I cant boot into either of Vista or 7. However Os X is booted just fine from Chameleon. Your help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!
April 18th, 2009 at 7:34 PM
Oh ok that makes a lot more sense to me now lol. Thanks for clearing that up cause if Dell didn’t make you return the old HDD then I think I would have a HDD issue just about every week ;-). I would call them and they would go “Oh, not him again.”
April 18th, 2009 at 6:44 PM
Sorry i was not super clear. What i had before anything broke was my original dell drive that i used as a time machine, plus a 320 WD that i used in the laptop. Dell send a me a brand new 250 so i just threw that in the laptop, formatted the WD and will use it as storage and a TM, and just return the original dell drive once i format it.
April 18th, 2009 at 4:12 PM
for some reason, every time i try to download adium, it quits like halfway through. meh, i haven’t used IM since the mid 90s heyday of ICQ. lol.
i was referring to a statement in the origional tutorial where… oh wait, what i said before wasn’t necessarily accurate. let me put it this way: i’d like to use XxX because it’s what richard reccommends and plans to write a 10.5.7 tutorial for.
so basically will this dsdt thing should be easy now that you’ve posted a tutorial for that. i’ve also decided to gleefully throw caution to the wind and not have a windows partition at all. i mean, what for? all i use this or any computer for is the interwebs, WoW (i know, i know), and the occasional resume update.
