Arghhh! Please help, I can't get a triple boot working..

[KidCastro]

Hi Guys,

 

I would love for some pointers or help in doing this on my system, gigabyte ds3p mb.

 

I want to triple boot; Vista, Ubuntu and kalyway os x..

 

The only success:- I have setup vista 1st and ubuntu 2nd, SO grub picked up on both OS and I have then been able to get a dual boot.. but then I installed os x using GUID which I think was a problem and started getting the b0 error..

 

Prior to setting up os x I couldnt even log into vista with AHCI sata enabled in my gigabyte ds3p but without AHCI enabled I couldnt select my hdd during my os x installation. So that must be enabled.. I'm left with a conflict between vista and os x.

 

Now I am gonna clear out my entire hdd and start from the beggining can some one help me out please

 

I want to know the easiest and practical way with which boot loader to use as well?

 

I have been able to install os x on whole drive, have done that before, no problem..

 

I also have paragon partition manager, so that helps me play with partitions.

 

Thanks,

Add Leopard to your grub boot menu.

Here is my tutorial.

Your MB uses ICH8R unless you switch the BIOS to AHCI mode. You can modify OS X to support ICH8R.

Then you won't have to switch your bios.

This is my tutorial, which worked thru 10.5.2

For 10.5.3 and 10.5.4, this kext works better:

Hi there, since you have OS X on a GUID rather than MBR partition (like myself,enabling me to use EasyBCD 1.72 in Vista), you should look at this thread.....it may fix your tribooting issues....
