MMatlock Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Hello, I installed linux on my hackintosh today, so I have osx86 and fedora core, however I was wondering two things. How can I get grub to boot the mac partition, and is there anyway to get linux to be able to read mac formatted disks natively. Thanks for your help!

-TiLT- Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 As far as I know, Linux can natively mount hfs partitions, but not hfs+. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/18453-viewing-mac-drives-from-linux/#findComment-120545 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrrjrr Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 This is my grub.conf file to use as a guide -- I boot Windows, OSX and Fedora with it. # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,4) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdc6 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hdc default=1 timeout=7 splashimage=(hd0,4)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Linux - Fedora Core - 2.6.16-1.2122 root (hd0,4) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 ro root=LABEL=/ selinux=0 vga=788 quiet rhgb initrd /initrd-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5.img title Windows - XP Home - SP-2 rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 title Mac OS X - Intel x86 - 10.4.6 rootnoverify (hd0,2) chainloader +1 All three are on the same drive (hd0), and the Mac partition is the 3rd partition (hd0,2). Grub counts things from "0", not "1". For mounting the hfs+ partition, I have this line in my /etc/fstab file: /dev/hdc3 /mnt/MacOSX hfsplus rw,umask=000 0 0 (I created the empty mount point folder /mnt/MacOSX before adding this line and rebooting) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/18453-viewing-mac-drives-from-linux/#findComment-120602 Share on other sites More sharing options...
