I have a system with 2 Hard drives :

1)500GB, partitioned entirely hfs+ with OS X Lion installed on it

2)1000GB, with the following partitions:

a)50 GB ext4

b)100 GB ext4

c)4GB Swap area.

 

I have installed Fedora 15 ( KDE Spin ) on the second HDD, with / mounted to the 50GB partition and /home to the 100GB. I installed it while HDD 1 was disconnected, as it contains important information and I don't have an additional HDD to use for backup.

I installed Fedora's bootloader to the beginning of the first patition, not the the MBR.

 

When I boot with both HDDs connected, Chameleon boots, and it does both the os x and fedora. os x boots fine, but if I try to boot into Fedora, all I get is a flashing ' _ ' key. If I boot with only the second HDD connected, Fedora boots just fine.

 

I will mention that I previously installed snow leopard & debian with the same method ( only on 1 hdd ) and it worked just fine.

 

Help will be appreciated on fixing this situation.

 

Tnx in advance,

Niv :thumbsup_anim:
