raritan01 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 So I've installed the most current version of Snow Leopard on my 2.66ghz Unibody Macbook Pro. Used Bootcamp to create a 40gb partition. Installed refit (which is the first thing you see when the Macbook Pro boots) Added a third partition for the /swap partition and created an Extended partition that holds the /root, /swap, /opt & /home partitions. Booted up the Slackware13 dvd and installed the os. Restarted and saw refit. The only option to boot to is osx. I can see the partitions with the Partitioning Tool installed by refit (i think it's gpysync.efi) Here's what I get: Starting gptsync.efi Current GPT partition table: # A Start LBA End LBA Type 1 40 409639 EFI System (FAT) 2 409640 898584991 Mac OS X HFS+ 3 898848768 976773119 Basic Data Current MBR partition table: # A Start LBA End LBA Type 1 1 409639 EE EFI Protective 2 409640 898584991 AF Mac OS X HFS+ 3 * 89884992 902788739 83 Linux 4 902788740 976768064 05 Extended (CHS) Status: Extended partition found in MBR table, will not touch this disk. Error: Not found returned from gptsync.efi * Hit any key to continue * ...then I hit a key and it brings me back to the prompt to select the os...and the only one available is OS X. Help would be appreciated!! Cheers. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/192266-trouble-with-snow-leopard-and-slackware/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
faabrizio Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 How did you install Lilo. Can you drop me the lilo.conf ? I am experiencing problems to install Lilo as well.
