MaidenFan Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Having some trouble configuring Leopard to multi-boot, I've installed using the BrazilMac ISO, over-writing the Tiger partition I had before. The laptop is currently setup in a quad-boot configuration, with two NTFS partitions for Windows Vista and XP, one ext3 for Fedora Core 7 Linux and one FAT32 Data partition, as well as the Leopard partition, using the Vista bootloader and chain0. The error I get when I select Leopard from the bootloader is "chain booting error". I've searched the Wiki and found it could be a possible partition filesystem error, has anybody got any idea how to fix it?

mouchyn Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 which partitions are primary and extended? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/68364-multi-boot-with-leopard-brazilmac/#findComment-486158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaidenFan Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 Vista - 20Gb Primary XP - 20Gb Primary Fedora - 10Gb Primary Leopard - 15Gb Extended Data - 46Gb Extended Maybe Leopard should be Primary? Tiger seemed fine with booting to an Extended partition?

chief-j Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I've read that Leopard should be installed to an MBR partition and not GUID, but to be honest I don't know how that relates to primary partitions. I think it has to do with what you mentioned, about primary and extended partitions. It seems that Leopard, unlike Tiger needs to be on a primary partition.
