H4xx0R Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 This what I have done so far: Edit meny.lst to title APPLE Mac OS X root (hd0,4) chainloader +1 makeactive boot That gave me; "Error 12: Invalid device reguested" I even tried to re-install mac on a primary partition but that gave me GRUB Error 15 and I even did not get to the list of installed OS. So I decided to remove Mac OSX partition using a Live CD. And now I dont have a clue wat to do :/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20991-can-install-it-but-cant-run-it/#findComment-139023 Share on other sites More sharing options...

H4xx0R Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 I culd try to convet the partition to primary with Partition Manenger but GRUB will show me error 15.

Or do I have to make a clean install when the partition is primary? If it´s not working to convert it, just delete it and create a primary one. XP is your first primary so OSX86 will probably be the 2nd primary (hd0,1). This Grub setup works for me: title OSX86 root (hd0,1) chainloader +1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20991-can-install-it-but-cant-run-it/#findComment-139416 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJägermeister Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Ok I'll try to re-install it now... I´ve seen that your 2 Linux partitions are also primary on your system, so OSX86 will probably be the 4th (only 4 are possible without a extented) primary partition (hd0,3): title OSX86 root (hd0,3) chainloader +1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/20991-can-install-it-but-cant-run-it/#findComment-139419 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look with fdisk -l in your Linux on what partition you have installed OSX and if it´s really a AF.

DrJägermeister Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Well now I can boot up mac but noting shows up all I see is blue bakground and a mouse. Whats the problem? Press quickly F8 and you´ll get the Darwin bootloader. Enter a ? and you´ll see all bootoptions. Try everything, if nothing works boot with -v (verbose) and take a look where it hung. I think it´s better to open a new topic for this, it´s not a Grub issue anymore. Don´t forget to post every detail about your hardware, it might be important.

H4xx0R Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 When should I press F8? As fast I press Mac in GRUB shows "Loading Darwin/x86" and after that a gray screen with the apple logo and a scrolling circle on. [EDIT] I find it now it looks like I have to press F8 almost at the same time as I choose Mac in GRUB.
