S U M I T Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hi, I've installed Kalyway 10.5.2 a few days back and everything worked perfectly except for one. I use GRUB in my primary master drive and it is unable to load OSX. Right now I have this: > Hard Disk-1 MBR - GRUB (Successfully loads all OS except Leo) Partition1 (Primary) - Vista > Hard Disk-2 MBR - Darwin (Successfully loads Leo when I boot from this drive) Partition1 (Primary) - Fedora 8 Partition3 (Primary) - XP Partition4 (Logical) - Leo I have following configuration in grub.conf default=1 timeout=3 splashimage=(hd1,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.2 rootnoverify (hd1,4) makeactive chainloader +1 title Windows Vista Ultimate SP-1 rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 title Fedora Core 8 (2.6.23.1-42.fc8) root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img title Windows XP Professional SP-3 map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) root (hd1,2) chainloader +1 The easiest solution for me right now is to edit the grub config so that it refers to the MBR of the Hard Disk-2. Is it possible to do so? If not what would be the values in the grub config to boot Leo directly from GRUB?
