boot with grub2

[Mikethebike]

Hi

I can boot from usb stick but I want to boot from grub2 as of Ubuntu 13.04. Any help?

Many thanks

Is Chameleon not booting Ubuntu?

Is there a specific reason you need to use grub2?

 

I do not think grub2 can boot OS X, but I could be mistaken.

I already use grub with ubuntu. The usb stick uses klover but I can only select that in the bios to boot, hence it doesn't look like it installed klover.

To not mess up things it would be easiest to use grub2 on my pc? Grub probably thinks to be on a mac?

I believe grub can boot a native OS X installation on an authentic Mac, but since Chameleon relies on the boot loader to load e.g. SMBios, org.chameleon.boot.plist and other more low level stuff I don't think grub2 can boot a Hackintosh very easily. See more here and here.

With grub2, I use:

menuentry 'osx' {
          insmod hfsplus
          search --file --set=root /boot
          multiboot /boot
}

to chainload chameleon. Works fine on my fedora system.

ahh yes I remember such for my first hackintosh. You have to put something magic into /boot on Linux, but I forgot the link. Would you have the link?

well there's /boot on my mac partition and gets found. But grub says: multiboot does not include selected device, enter hex device number but I cannot enter 51 for sdb1.

Thanks
