crooked Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 i have done many searches but nothing i found seemed to help me solve this problem. i have XP and Ubuntu and they are both in the grub boot menu but OS X did not show up after i installed it. as far as i know, i need to edit grub but i have no idea how to do that. i have 1 hard drive and the partitions are set up as follows: hdc1: NTFS win XP hdc2 OS X hdc3 ubuntu hdc4 ubuntu hdc5 swap i dont know why 3 and 4 both show up as ubuntu. my main question is, how do i edit grub? i am very new to ubuntu so i am not familiar with the terminal commands yet. thanks in advance for any help.

tomaszjc7 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I have the same problem, I tried what the wiki said and am getting an error after trying to boot OSX, Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format. I have OSX set to (hd0,2) My xp is set to (hd0,0) and some recovery drive set to (hd0,1). I also tried: title OSX_X86 rootnoverify (hd0,2) makeactive chainloader +1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42396-boot-loader-problem/#findComment-304364 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbmkgd Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Well, he said he had some recovery drive at (hd0,1)... But I guess you meant the "--force" isn't always necessary, which is true.
