atomicV1sion Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I have an ASUS F6A-X2 and I boot Ubuntu 9.10 with GRUB and three partitions. I recently booted from an OSX CD and reformatted My windows NTFS partition to the journaled mac filesystem (I don't use windows anymore). After doing that, GRUB returns an error "unknown file system" or something to that effect. All I can now type are GRUB rescue commands, and I don't know how to boot. I'm thinking that GRUB is messed up because it isn't compatible with the new filesystem I formatted too, but I don't know too much about bootloaders. Will installing one of the OSX bootloaders included in the customized options of the install menu fix this problem? Can I possibly type some sort of GRUB rescue command so I can temporarily boot into Ubuntu until I get this straightened out? Does GRUB even work with a mac filesystem? Any help is most certainly appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/203832-booting-problem-with-grub-and-mac/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
