wmarsh Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 too bad my os' are all on the same hd bump Having them on same HD is no problem. Tell us what your grub entry for OS X looks like. Are you using pc_efi? Should be something like: title Mac OSX Leopard root (hd?,?) (replace with same values grub uses for Linux partition, not ones for OSX partition) kernel /boot/boot_v8 boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dense Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I spent an hour yesterday helping a user troubleshoot this problem. Turns out that he had a MBR disk using the GPT bootloader files. Exact same symptoms mentioned as this thread. I'm not sure exactly how Kalyway determines which bootloader to use but its either user error or a flaw in the script.

jwalker46 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Dense, Is there a simple way to use Gparted (or other bootable cd) to completely erase the MBR before reformatting and reinstalling....just in case something is corrupt there?

wmarsh Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 not sure pc_efi, just whatever the kal dvd was the grub menu is: title mac osx86 leo root (hd0,1) makeactive chainloader +1 this is what i did to boot to [ToH] installation grub is in my ubuntu partition That didn't work for me, although it did with earlier versions of OS X. Try this instead: 1) Get PC_EFI. This post among many has a link. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=499367 Easiest is to download it in Linux, as that where you are going to use it. 2) Copy boot_v8 to /boot in your Linux partition 3) Edit (as su) menu.lst in /boot/grub, changing your entry to read: title Mac OSX Leopard root (hd?,?) (replace with same values grub uses for Linux partition, not ones for OSX partition) kernel /boot/boot_v8 boot Next time you reboot, Leo will be on grub men and it will work.
