Thinkpad Leopard

[shavex]

Alright so I have Leopard on my desktop already and it runs flawlessly! (Bad Axe 2 Mobo)

 

And i wanted to try it out on my thinkpad r500 (duo 2 core, intel graphics card, atheros based wireless)

I have tried Leo4All, iDeneb (found out that that isnt dual boot friendly), and iAtkos... i tried all of them multiple times with different changes to what i wanted installed and it seems like they ALL want to be the main OS when the bootloader is added it over writes my original one which is GRUB just like i have on my desktop so i know the menu.lst file is right. But i will get a boot1: error.

 

Now if i just let the do their thing it boots vista first. Also im installing Leopard in a Logical partition, not sure if that makes a difference or not.

 

Any tips?

How did the install go? What GFX card does your r500 use?

its a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD Graphics Card

 

But i highly doubt that is the problem...

 

I have now tried Kalway, iDeneb, Leo4All, iAtkos, and BrazilMac and ALL of them either write over my MBR and i go back and rewrite it, and then they dont boot

 

title Mac OS X Leopard

root (hd0,4)

chainloader +1

 

 

Im using GRUB as my MBL and thats what the menu.lst entry looks like... ive seen posts about installing the OS's in order, like Windows, then Mac, then Linux to have the GRUB MBL but i reason that if you just write the GRUB MBL over what Mac installs it should be fine!

 

any tips?!
