AceMilo Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I just finished successfully installing os x on my machine that already has ubuntu and win7 installed on it. Those are both on a 1TB drive and I added 2 old ide drives and 1 more sata drive 160gigs which is what I installed os x on. My os x drive is listed as the second drive in fdisk (sdb) and when I add it to my grub list like this: #Macintosh OS X 10.6title Macintosh OS X root (hd1,0) makeactive chainloader +1 It just sits and never boots, I've tried hd1,0 1 and 2 none work. I installed os x following this guide: http://lifehacker.com/5351485/how-to-build...start-to-finish Any help is appreciated on how to get this thing to triple boot properly. TIA.

vilpostus Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 If you use a Chameleon boot loader then it shoul look like this: title Macintosh OS X rootnoverify (hd1,0) makeactive chainloader (hd1)+1 If you use EFI bootloader. Copy boot_v8 file (it may be boot_v5 or boot_v10 dpending on EFI version used; most likely it shoul be boot file from netkas) to /boot/grub folder of Ubuntu installation. It well be necessary to boot OS X. So the menu should look like this: title Macintosh OS X kernel (hd0,5)/boot/grub/boot Note that 5 in hd0,5 should represent the number of Ubuntu partition. I use openSUSE and it was installed on the 4th partition. If Ubuntu is on the second partition it should be hd0,1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceMilo Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 I used chameleon I believe, I'm going to try that and we'll see if it fixes it, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
