shinew Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Hello, first I would like to thank everyone for making it possible to run OS X on home-built PC. It's pretty amazing that without much effort, I have a 100% working mac running with dual display. So since the installation has been so successful, I really don't want to screw this up but I would like to dual boot it with linux(going to install mint or ubuntu probably). So far THIS is the only thread I found that's related to what I'm looking for. However, I don't understand everything it says on it(ex: i don't know what is "boot1h") but so far I have downloaded & run "Chameleon-1.0.11-installer" and noticed that it has created a "boot" file in the OS-X root directory. So if I install a linux distro with grub, and edited the grub menu.list to something similar to this: OS X 10.5.6 Leopard rootnoverify(hd0,0) chainloader(hd0,0)+1 "hd0,0" being my "/" partition. It should work then right? if I also have "/var","/home" & "/tmp" in separate logical partitions, should I change the "+1" to something else? I'm new to this so please explain if I've misunderstood anything. thank you very much for your help!

vijayk Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 If your using legacy grub, it should work I think. I have been having trouble with grub 2 loading OSX. But I had been able to load linux and windows from chameleon without any problem.
