linux doesn't show up in Chameleon

[james341]

good day to you

i have installed triple boot (vista osx86 and linux)

in Chameleon i see only vista and osx86 but no linux

i found something in other forum :

 

"1. Boot from a Live CD, like Ubuntu Live, Knoppix, Mepis, or similar.

2. Open a Terminal. Go SuperUser (that is, type "su"). Enter root passwords as necessary.

3. Type "grub" which makes a GRUB prompt appear.

4. Type "find /boot/grub/stage1". You'll get a response like "(hd0)" or in my case "(hd0,3)". Use whatever your computer spits out for the following lines.

5. Type "root (hd0,3)".

6. Type "setup (hd0,3)". This is key. Other instructions say to use "(hd0)", and that's fine if you want to write GRUB to the MBR. If you want to write it to your linux root partition, then you want the number after the comma, such as "(hd0,3)".

7. Type "quit".

8. Restart the system. Remove the bootable CD."

 

but i can't do su because i don't know the password so i did sudo grub

but when i trying to do "find /boot/grub/stage1" I'm getting error 15 : file not found

 

what can i do to had linux to chameleon?

Been awhile but try grub-install (hd0,3) before the quit step to install it to the partition and while your at it before you start the grub prompt check the menu.lst and device map files to make sure everything is set properly in there. Plus you may want to look at the --root-directory= option to specify where it can find the files.

o.k this what i did:

sudo -s

fdisk -l # found my linux partition in /dev/sda2

mkdir /mnt/bla

mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/bla

grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/bla /dev/sda2

 

now i see linux in Chameleon boot with vista and leopard
