-nehalem_error_disable
command line switch boot arg for chameleon

AppleTyMCEDriver.kext controls the relationship between the OS and ECC RAM.

*****
If you do not have ECC RAM, and you use the SMBIOS of a Mac that does,
then you will experience a KP on boot.

This can be avoided if you boot with -nehalem_error_disable

worked for me just now on a box with mountain lion 10.8.* and chameleon
not sure if it will work with clover etc
