Linux Mint 8 GRUB can't load Tiger

So, for a while i've had Windows Vista and Linux Mint 8 dual-booting on my computer. Vista had crashed a while ago and finally died (file system is shot to hell) a few days ago. When Vista died it also happened to take out Linux in the process. I've also had Mac OS X Tiger sitting nicely beside them, however I couldn't boot into it (the Vista bootloader couldn't boot it).

After Vista/Linux died I decided to re-install Linux and low and behold the bootloader found Mac OS X Tiger and added it to the list of bootable OS's (it didn't include Vista). However, when I try to boot Mac I instantly get a kernel panic :) I've had Tiger working smoothly on this comp before too. Any ideas? (btw, the bootloader for Mac, Chameleon, doesn't recognize Linux)

 

My comp's specs are:

CPU - Intel Mobile Dual Core 1.46 ghz

GFX - Intel Mobile 965 Chipset

RAM - 1000 mb's (0.99gb lol)

HDD - 168 gb

 

Also, my drive is partitioned as such: (according to KDE Partition Manager)

 

/dev/sda1 - ntfs - Recovery - 7.37 GiB

/dev/sda2 - ntfs - Vista - 91.30 GiB

/dev/sda3 - Extended - 48.27 GiB

  • /dev/sda5 - hfsplus - Mac OS X Tiger - 19.99 GiB
  • /dev/sda6 - ext4 - Linux Mint 8 - 27.06 GiB
  • /dev/sda7 - linuxswap - Linux Swap - 1.21 GiB

unallocated - unknown - 2.11 GiB (used to be Linux Swap)

 

You may have noticed that sda3 isn't labelled and the next 3 partitions are under it. For whatever reason, sda5-7 are all connected to eachother. I didn't think you could that but I guess so lol.

I even uploaded a pic to help show what i mean lol.

 

The purple on the left is the Recovery, the pink in some of the partitions is used space. As you can see, sda5-7 are outlined in teal, connecting them together. Also, I've tried to extend sda6 to include the 2 gigs of unallocated space but it refuses to, because they are connected.

So yea, any help is appreciated! ^^
