I just upgraded my laptop to a 500GB hard drive, and need to start using OSX to get familiar with it, but I really don't want to have to reinstall windows/ubuntu to get it working. I have installed iATKOS to a new extended partition, but every time I try to boot I get a kernel panic (I can't remember exactly what the panic was about, I was hoping it would be in /var/log, but kernel.log and system.log are empty). I'm assuming the panic was due to OSX being on an extended partition. Here's my current partition scheme (from linux fdisk):

 

   Device Boot	  Start		 End	  Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1			   1		  13	  102400	7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2			  13	   26939   216282112	7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3   *	   26939	   55010   225478656   83  Linux
/dev/sda4		   55010	   60802	46522368	5  Extended
/dev/sda5		   60278	   60802	 4207616   82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda6		   55010	   60278	42312704   af  HFS / HFS+

 

sda1 is a (hidden) system parition for win7, sda2 is the actual win7 parition, sda3 is Ubuntu 10.10, and sda4 is the extended partition, so those are my 4 primary partitions (using MBR). Is it possible to use Chameleon to load iATKOS from an extended partition? The other issue being that I currently have no write access to the HFS+ partition, because the linux driver can't work with journaling, and I didn't want to screw up the journal.

 

My current (auto generated) grub.cfg: http://pastebin.com/xahU3Nhk

 

Thanks for any help you can provide!

 

EDIT: The exact panic message is:

 

panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff80004eb611): "A kext releasing a(n) OSArray has corrupted the registry."@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1504.3.12/libkern/c++/OSObject.cpp:244

Alright, I got that resolved, the error was unrelated to the partitions, I had to use the 32-bit RTC driver. Guess that's what happens when you assume!

 

But, now i have no video, I get through the command line section and then it goes to a black screen. Not really sure what to do from here. The system:

 

Dell XPS M1530

C2D 2.4GHz

4GB DDR2@667MHz

PM965 Chipset

Nvidia 8600M GT onboard

 

I'm also getting the same thing (blank screen) on my desktop:

 

Asus P5Q SE/R mobo

C2Q Q6600 2.4GHz

P35 chipset

ATi Radeon 3870 (IIRC)

6GB (2x2GB,2x4GB) DDR2@800MHz

 

On the desktop, I can tell the BIOS to boot from the hard drive that has (only) OSX on it and boot through Chameleon, but that does the same thing. The laptop I haven't been able to successfully boot Chameleon by chainloading through grub, every time I try I get this rather cryptic message:

 

l to restart
rt

 

Should I try [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and my retail disc? Or is this just some configuration thing?
