MERLIN2049ER Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I got os x 10.5 booting on my gigabyte GA-P965-DS3 after a couple of failed attempts. I'm not sure what's wrong with the onboard nic (marvell gigabyte), it was recognized by the os, and I was able to get online (but not do too much). I guess I'll have to find a driver for it? I've also got a dlink card installed, but that failed to configure properly. I've got no sound either I can live without that for a while. I'm already using Grub as a boot manger Just wondering how I can identify the mac HD/partition so I can add an entry into Grub ? Any suggestions? TIA, JG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Gilbert Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 http://cy8erpunkthunk.blogspot.com/2006/03...-and-osx86.html Perform the following steps in your Linux distro: pico /etc/boot/grub/menu.lst now add an entry like this: # OSX86 title OSX86 root (hd0,2) chainloader +1 Where "(hd0,2)" corresponds to your OS X partition (disk 1, second primary partition). Note that these steps show you how to setup a chain loader. Grub does not support the OSX filesystem but the OSX bootloader does. What this setup does is configure grub to load the OSX bootloader from the second primary partition on the first hard disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MERLIN2049ER Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 Thanks! I was going to try that last night, but I can't boot it. LOL. I guess I'll have to reinstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MERLIN2049ER Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 I booted up the Kalyway DVD again, and found my hard disk intact with Leo still installed on it. I verified the drive too. I might have to fix the boot flag again? I was wondering, I've got 4 hd installed in my pc, can i use my bios (f12) boot manger to boot to the drive Leo is installed on? Will that create any problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
