antaholics Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Sorry.. I realized that I posted this in the wrong forum, now I'm in the right board! anyways here's my problem... I tried digging around for two days now with no solution... so I'm going to try posting something up! I'm sure SOMEONE out there has the same config as me!! It's a bit complicated... my system has 4 OS quad-booting off Grub: 1. Vista 2. Leopard 3. XP 4. Ubuntu 7.10 I'm trying to run VMware fusion on Leopard... and it detects a "Boot Camp Partition"... but when I boot up it gives me Error 17... which means Grub can't find the Ubuntu partition... So, following this guide.... I created another Virtual Machine and added my windows xp, vista, and ubuntu partitions, and I set up my ubuntu.vmx with this (same as my physical HD, so grub reads the right partitions) ide0:0.present = "TRUE" ide0:0.fileName = "Ubuntu.vmdk" ide0:1.present = "TRUE" ide0:1.fileName = "vista.vmdk" ide0:2.present = "TRUE" ide0:2.fileName = "" ide0:3.present = "TRUE" ide0:3.fileName = "" ide0:4.present = "TRUE" ide0:4.fileName = "winxp.vmdk" ide0:5.present = "FALSE" ide0:5.fileName = "" I put Ubuntu.vmdk on ide0:0 because if I don't, then Grub will give me error 17 again. When I try to boot up into any partition, I get Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format I also notice that only the vista and ubuntu partitions are loaded When I try to boot into ubuntu, it hangs at the line: *Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [OK] If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!
