Nike Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I use grub... but...when I configurated it my mac didn't start correctly... then, when I updated to the 10.4.7, the hdb2 (where I installed it) started to work... probably 'coz the partition I used wasn't a primary...it was a logical one... with the help of Acronis Disck director, I switched it from logical to primary partition... Now...you can try to see if your partition is logical or primary...

athlon64 Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 oh..could be because i installed it on an extended partition. sh** thanks for the quick reply! ;-) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/26782-dualboot-osx-linux-windows-with-grub/#findComment-181921 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZombieLuv Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I was able to get OSX running on an extended partition. I had to put the chain0 file on a partition GRUB could read directly, (ntfs did not work) I used a FAT32 partition. I also tried a EXT3 partition but couldn't get it to work, though I didn't try very hard. Then, just point GRUB to the chain0 file... root (harddrive number, partition number)/chain0 example: root (hd2,2)/chain0 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/26782-dualboot-osx-linux-windows-with-grub/#findComment-181937 Share on other sites More sharing options...
