I'm so close to successfully getting my tripple boot running - shamefully I've been trying to get it running on/off now for a couple months - giving up with frustration. This time around I've had a bit more patience. Can someone look at everything I'm doing and let me know if there's any easy solve that isn't outlined anywhere?

 

Here're the steps I take in setting up my tripple boot:

 

-Re-install Mac OS Lion on Macbook Air 4,2

-Install reFit

-Repartition (win = 30GB, Linux=24GB, Swap=6GB)

-Install Windows 7 on /dev/sda4 (this is not the bootcamp installer, just plain windows installer)

-Install bootcamp drivers in Windows

-Sync reFit

-Install Xubuntu (ext4, mount at /, grub is on /dev/sda5, swap is /dev/sda6)

-Sync reFit

 

At this point I have successfully installed three operating systems, I haven't done any configuration.

 

This is where I get frustrated: when I boot my computer, it goes into reFit successfully. I see three options for booting, Mac, Windows, Linux.

 

Mac and Windows work ok, however, if I select Linux it boots into Windows.

 

Anyone know how to fix this or of any steps I missed?

 

Attached are two pictures, one of "diskutil list" and another of the refit partition analyzer.

 

Any help is really appreciated. Every post I find about tipple boots just seem to work magically without any extra steps. Clearly that's not the case. Any ideas?

 

Thanks!
