have successfully managed to dual boot Windows 7 and OSX. Windows 7 is on 2 WD raptors in RAID 0, OSX is on it own WD HD. Im using chameleon to boot them, that works fine. I wanted to add Linux Mint onto my RAID 0 which I have done by shrinking the windows volume and installing it on a 50gb partition. My issue is GRUB I believe. I want linux to show in chameleon but I needs to detect GRUB which I dont have configured properly. Im in mint now using a super grub disc, this is the only way I can boot it. From what I have read GRUB wont install on a RAID volume. So I tried following some tutorials but im lost. I think I got it downloaded but Im stuck. Here is what I have so far:

 

My RAID partitions:

control		  nvidia_bhdjhebb1  nvidia_bhdjhebb5
nvidia_bhdjhebb  nvidia_bhdjhebb2  nvidia_bhdjhebb6
[\code]



I can get into the grub shell:

you need to install grub in another partition.

because both grub and chameleon tries to install to MBR partition.

so whoever installed last get to stay as the other one gets over write.

 

the solution is to install grub into linux partition(assuming you want to use chameleon)

 

all you have to do is to boot linux, run terminal.

 

sudo mount /dev/sda* /mnt

sudo chroot /mnt

sudo grub-install /dev/sda*

 

(replace the * with the partition number that contain your linux OS)

 

reboot and run Mac osx, reinstall Chameleon. then you should be able to see all your OSes :)
