apazjoker Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Hi, my name is antonio, i'm spanish, so if my language is not perfect, please, excuse me. This is the problem: I'm trying to get a triple boot (Snow Leopard, Ubutu 10.04 and Windows 7) since 2 week on my Acer Aspire One D250, but it's definitely impossible for me. I also read many tutorials, but i don't find the solution. I only got two O.S. working simultaneously, but never 3. Once, I almost made it, but only worked Windows and Ubuntu. Chameleon also recognized Snow Leopard, but didn't boot, i only had a infinite reboot when i tried to boot this. The most unusual thing of this time is when I loaded chameleon from a DVD (iatkos S3 v2), snow leopard booted perfectly. that is, chameleon never boot snow leopard from the hard drive, but it's works perfectly from a dvd or a usb drive. I'm so desperate, so I would be very grateful if someone helps me with my problem. A greeting and thanks Antonio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apazjoker Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 Thanks for your answer, but I'm not sure I fully understood this. should i install a retail disk of snow leopard ( with a EFI or nawcom boot disk) instead of iatkos?? Sorry, and thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bettsy1980 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I have a triple boot set-up like this. I installed Snow Leopard on a separate physical hard drive and got that working. I then installed Win 7, then Ubuntu 10.04 on the same drive. I set up Grub2 as the boot loader, Grub2 will automatically pick up all 3 OS's including the SL drive and boot it without Chameleon, however this caused me problems with sound and such as it would noot boot my DSDT, so I had make make a custom boot entry for OSX in Grub2 so it would chain load Chameleon. There are guides online if you do a search on how to do this with Grub2 but it takes some Linux knowledge and a bit of reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
