Shake Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 So I have an HP DV8000 (DV8125nr) series laptop running Ubuntu 9.10 just fine. My laptop has 2 harddrives, so the primary master has Ubuntu, and the other was blank (zeroed). I tried installing Iatkos V7 but it absolutely did not work, couldnt get past the "still waiting for root device" while it tried to get the installer. So I downloaded Zephyroth 10.5.2 AMD (my laptop has a Turion). For whatever reasons, a search here indicated that you must hit ESC when you boot the laptop, and wait ten seconds before booting off the DVD before it will work. Did that, and I was able to enter the installer. I installed OS X as best I could (dont know if I chose the right drivers), and it finished without errors. I chose to install it on the MBR because the other option was GUID. I rebooted, and it went straight to Ubuntu. I've tried booting off the 2nd HD but I get a network boot instead, dont think this laptop allows to be booted off the 2nd HD. The Mac partition is viewable in Ubuntu so its there. But I have absolutely no way of getting to it. Ubuntu now uses Grub 2, and its so far out for me. I have NO idea what to do next. I read the Grub2 topic but its far too advanced for me to understand how to create entries, compile things etc. So is there some way I can get into OSX on the 2nd HD? Is there any step by step guide for adding an OSX entry from the 2nd HD into Grub2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
