Grub 1.5 adding os x after install

[AceMilo]

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 10.6

title 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:

Any help is appreciated on how to get this thing to triple boot properly.

 

TIA.

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

I used chameleon I believe, I'm going to try that and we'll see if it fixes it, thanks.

Thanks a lot, it works, I'm in os x right now. Thanks again, I appreciate the help.

The Chameleon version I guess?

Yea, like I said I followed that guide from lifehacker and it used chameleon. It runs great!
