grub boot loader in the mbr. So if anyone can help me to bring the menu for macosx

in grub, that would be very helpful

 

othe details:

 

install type - sse2 (sse3 is possible)

partition - 10gb, hfs journaled case-sensitive

m/b - 915gav

processor - intel 3.0 ht

ram - 1g

media -dvd rw

hdd - sata 120gb

Do it like here:

http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?s=...ndpost&p=106364

Your OSX86 should be a primary partition (else it don't work) and you have to change root (0,2) with your OSX86 partiton. If joe is not installed in your Ubuntu just use another editor to change the file.

No, the OSX86 partiton should be a primary partition located BEFORE the extented with the logical drives.

The solution is to delete every logical and the extented partition, then create a primary /dev/sda2 partiton for OSX86. Once it's done you can recreate your extented with the logical drives.

BTW, where is your partition with type AF? You have only this partitions 07 (NTFS), 0b (FAT32), 83 (Linux) and 82 (Swap).

root (hd0,6) is the 3rd logical drive in your extented partition (/dev/sda7) with type 83 (Linux). That can not work for OSX86 because the partition is type 83 AND a logical

If fdisk gives you incorrect infos, try sudo cfdisk /dev/sda . If it also shows 83 for /dev/sda7, you can change the type in AF and make it bootable. But you will probably still have the problem that your partition is not a primary.

This is what cfdisk shows

 

sda1 primary ntfs (boot flag on)

sda5 logical ntfs

sda6 logical w95 fat32

sda7 linux

sda8 linux ext3

sda9 linux swap / solaris

 

i dunno why sda7 shows linux. but i installed macos in

the 7th partiton.

Anyway all i have do is to make the 7th partiton primary

is tht it.

Can i do it with the ubuntu installer disk. But i ll have to

reinstall macos then.

 

Thanks

Do tried you to change change the type (83->AF) and make it bootable with cfdisk?

But I think the best is to reinstall OSX86 in a primary partition located before the extented that it works. You can't change /dev/sda7 in a primary, a primary is from /dev/sda1 up to /dev/sda3.

In cfdisk click on /dev/sda7 go to type and click enter. Now you see all supported types and just type AF. Now go to write and you have change the type.

It's OK, that happens when more than one partition is bootable. You can leave it.

The file system has changed to 0Xaf

but still the error is there

 

Invalid device requested

So you have probably to reinstall it on a primary partition:

http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=6462&hl=

Use cfdisk to delete the logical drives and the extented, create a /dev/sda2 with type af and recreate you logical drives after that.

you mean like this...

mac

win32

fat32

linux

linux swap

Yeah,

/dev/sda1 (you still have XP, you can leave it)

/dev/sda2 (OSX86)

from /dev/sda5 up to /dev/sda?? for Linux, swap, another Windows, your data and what you want.

i have another doubt.

will windows install if it is not in the primary

partiton.

And please refer me to some help files for triple booting

(mac, linux, win)

 

Thank you very much

One Windows installation must also be a primary partition, the 2nd or 3rd Windows installation can be done with a logical.

Here is an exemple for a tri-boot:

My cfdisk shows that there is no sda2..

delete sda5 to sda9. you should have only sda1 left. Now create in the free space a primary partition it will be /dev/sda2

Create logical partitions ONLY when you have done all primarys. The logicals will begin then with /dev/sda5

If XP is already installed, install OSX86 as 2nd OS and Linux as 3rd (it comes with the bootloader)
