Error 15

I get error 15 when I try to boot OS X, my main operating system is ubuntu, what do I do

Here is my menu.lst file

Your grub menu entry for OS X is set up completely wrong.

 

the entry for it should look like:

 

title OS X

root (hd0,1)

makeactive

chainloader +1

 

the way you have it set up now you're trying to boot a non-existent kernel for OS X from the same partition you've got ubuntu installed on...

i got error 13 for hda(0,1) but when i changed it to hda(0,2) (because i think i installed leopard on my 2 partion) i did not get any error, it was just a black screen? What do i do?

Actually loading OS X like a Linux kernel is a very good idea when chainloading is not working.

 

This is how to do it with pc_efi:

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry606752

 

However, the Chameleon method is better:

 

To use Chameleon with Grub, do the following:

1) Download Chameleon (current version) from chameleon.osx86.hu

2) dd boot1 to the partition you have OS X installed onto.

3) copy boot to the root directory of your OS X partion

4) ignore the boot0 file -- it overwrites grub in your MBR and you don't need it with grub.

5) edit your grub menu.lst file to chainload in the usual manner, I.E.-- my OS X entry now reads:

 

title Mac OSX Leopard

rootnoverify (hd?,?) (replace ? with the values Grub uses for OSX partition -- differs from pc_efi method)

chainloader (hd?,?)+1 (same values)

 

In your case, (hd0,1) refers to your 2nd partition and should be correct.

 

This is much easier and more standardized, hence I consider the pc_efi method depreciated.

[Suprjacob]

Try these entries:

 

title OSX

root (hd0,1)

chainloader (hd0,1)+1

 

title OSX

root (hd0,1)

makeactive

chainloader +1

 

title OSX

rootnoverify (hd0,1)

makeactive

chainloader (hd0,1)+1

 

Maybe one of these will help you. (btw, hd0,2 is your Vista partition ) If these don't work, then I need more info from you regarding your partitioning. Or, it could be a problem with your OSX install.
