Tiger do not boot after install

[GNU_Raziel]

Hi all,

 

I've Installed OSX 10.4.10 (patch AMD/SSE2 v1.1) by Kalyway and installation goes perfectly fine, but when the installer reboot the system...Nothing, no OSX bootloader in MBR...

 

I currently use ubuntu 7.10 (So I see grub bootloader, like if OSX was not installed), OSX partitition is the first one (primary, /dev/hda1) it's a bootable one ("boot" flag on this partition) and I can see the OSX partition files while in Linux :

 

Applications  cores       etc          mach.sym  System  var
automount     Desktop DB  Library      Network   tmp     Volumes
Backups       Desktop DF  mach         private   Users
bin           dev         mach_kernel  sbin      usr

 

I've tried to boot OSX partition with tboot (previously called "chain0"), like this :

title OSX Tiger 10.4.10
root (hd0,4) #The GNU/Linux /boot partition, /dev/hda5 (logical)
makeactive
chainloader /tboot

 

 

So I want to know :

-Why OSX didn't re-write the bootloader with darwin boot ?

-Is something missing ?

-Why the grub modification do not work ?

-What can i do to make the whole thing work ?

 

Thanks in advance for your answers

Have you tried making OS X your active partition and maybe disabling grub (if that possible)? But please make sure you can re-enable grub if needed.

 

Also you could try Acronis bootloader and see how that goes but you need that installed in windows.

Problem solved, here what I done :

1-Reinstall OSX (formated OSX partition first)

2-Darwin bootloader tested

3-reinstalled grub, with OSX boot option :

 

title OSX Tiger 10.4.10
rootnoverify (hd0,0) #The OSX partition
makeactive
chainloader +1

 

tboot didn't work at all, don't know why...
