j0nnyr0773n Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Hey guys I've seen lots of posts about this but none of the solutions work out for me, hopefully we can get this taken care of and help others answer as well. I have Windows installed on a Raid0 and on an IDE drive I have Grub & Ubuntu installed. I have Grub booting either Windows XP or Ubuntu no problem it works fine. I have added another partition to the IDE drive after the linux and the swap and put the "tiger-86-flat.img" on it. I can mount the partition, view all the OSX files, write, etc... I cannot get Grub to boot OSX. I know it is the correct partition so there's no worries there. I get: HFS+ Partition Error Here is my menu.lst for OSX title OSXrootnoverify (hd0,2) makeactive chainloader +1 I have also tried: title OSXroot (hd0,2) makeactive chainloader --force +1 The partition is active and primary so I am lost. Plz help if anyone knows thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabcat Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Does anyone have any ideas? Probably have no ideas that you haven't already tried. I have not installed osx using an image. I installed with the installer from a jas disk and use grub too (with ubuntu and windows). Anyways, have you seen this: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...Partition_Error At the end they mention using lilo instead of grub to fix the HFS+ Partition Error. No idea why that helps. They also seem to have different entries in their menu.lst so that is probably easier to try messing with then changing to lilo: title OSX86 chainloader (hd0,0)/chain0 This sounds important too. I'd check this first - the bit about setting the partition type: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...ub_HFS.2B_Error "In my case it worked by running fdisk under Linux and then to change the partition type to af - (this wasn't set)" Other than that, It might be worth checking out some other install guides to see if they have anything relevant: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...allation_Guides good luck Fabcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
