Hm, typically when I can't even get to the verbose logging I find that the issue is that the booter can't even find either the kernel or the kextcache. There shouldn't be any permissions issues at that stage, but generally booter + kernel + gets you to verbose output and then kext_cache is just about the first thing loaded once the kernel takes over. Perhaps the issue is that the kernel failed to load?
I was thought about that, and was wondering if I needed to update BootX to handle a universal binary, but that doesn't explain why the ppc-only kernel doesn't boot, either. I will fiddle more with the kextcache stuff after lunch. I built BootX, but am not exactly sure what to do with the files it produces. I was careful to put the kernel back into the wheel group after copying it to /, since it seems to get changed to root,admin in the copying process. any other gotchas I should look for? best, r.
