No Boot with GRUB ! :-(

Hello.

 

I am having trouble trying to get Leopard to boot properly.

My system configuration is:

 

MoBo: Intel D945GNT

Pentium 4 3.0Ghz

2 Hard disks.

 

1st HD:

Windows XP on first Primary Partition (Partition 1)

Mac OS X Leopard (Partition 2) - ToHLeoX86

 

2nd HD:

Kubuntu Linux splitted on 4 partitions. (Working just fine ;-) )

 

As Leopard was the last OS installed on my system, I have added it on Grub's "menu.lst" config file. Here it is:

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic

root (hd1,0)

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=e1acc890-bb35-4456-aec9-fca4177bee1e ro quiet splash

initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic

quiet

 

title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic (recovery mode)

root (hd1,0)

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=e1acc890-bb35-4456-aec9-fca4177bee1e ro single

initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic

 

title Ubuntu 7.10, memtest86+

root (hd1,0)

kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin

quiet

 

### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST

 

# This is a divider, added to separate the menu items below from the Debian

# ones.

title Other operating systems:

root

 

 

# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS

# on /dev/sda1

title Microsoft Windows XP Professional

root (hd0,0)

savedefault

makeactive

chainloader +1

 

# This entry added for Leopard on my Hackintosh

# on /dev/sda2

title Mac OSX Leopard

root (hd0,1)

makeactive

chainloader +1

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

When I choose OS X from Grub's menu I get a Panic screen. I don't have a screenshot but the error is something like this:

 

panic(cpu 0 ............. 0x001A7BDE)

 

Error code: 0x00000002

 

 

I have found some posts telling to boot using F8 and then -f -v. The problem is that as soon as I hit enter over the Leopard item on grub,

the panic screen shows up. I am really lost here.

 

any help will be really appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Okay, make sure you have edited Grubs bootloader correctly, I think it is trying to connect to a non-existent partition.

 

Post your Grub bootloader config.

Copy attached boot_v8.txt to Ubuntu's /boot

rename it boot_v8

 

Edit grub to read:

 

title Mac OSX Leopard

root (hd1,0)

kernel /boot/boot_v8

boot

 

When boot_v8 loads, you will have 2 seconds to enter 80 to make it boot off first HD where you have leopard installed rather than 2nd HD where you have Linux installed.

 

Your problem may also be unrelated to grub -- it may be related to lack of support for your sata hard drive. This thread is how I enabled ICH8R support for my hack -- your 945GNT uses ICH7R -- probably a similiar fix would work for you.
