deesto Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I've copied a 'chain0' to the root of my XP partition (partition 1 of my main SATA drive), and added this to c:\boot.ini: c:\chain0="OSX" I have an iDeneb lite 10.5.8 new installation on the second partition of the same disk. When I boot this way and choose the "OSX" entry, the XP loader fails with: Error 2: bad directory or file type I've searched around and found several instances of this error, but haven't found a way to fix it so far. Any ideas? BTW, I also have a working Fedora 12 installation on the same disk (partition 3 is the boot partition, and paritition 4 extended with a bunch of Linux partitions inside), and I haven't been able to get OSX to boot from a grub entry (with 'chainloader +1' or 'chainloader /boot/chain0'). Hints on a fix for either method would be great!

deesto Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 I've also tried adding 'boot' from PC EFI (by netkas) to my Linux /boot partition, but all grub.conf configuration attempts have resulted in either 'error 13: invalid or unsupported executable format' or 'error 17: cannot mount selected partition'. If I have Win XP (sda1/hd0,0), Leopard (sda2/hd0,1), and Linux /boot (sda3/hda0,2) all on the same partition, and grub is booting Linux and XP just fine, what do I need to do in order to get it to also boot the Leopard partition?
