VMware Fusion + Grub + Windows

[antaholics]

Sorry.. I realized that I posted this in the wrong forum, now I'm in the right board!

 

anyways here's my problem...

 

I tried digging around for two days now with no solution... so I'm going to try posting something up! I'm sure SOMEONE out there has the same config as me!!

 

It's a bit complicated... my system has 4 OS quad-booting off Grub:

1. Vista

2. Leopard

3. XP

4. Ubuntu 7.10

 

I'm trying to run VMware fusion on Leopard... and it detects a "Boot Camp Partition"... but when I boot up it gives me Error 17... which means Grub can't find the Ubuntu partition...

 

So, following this guide....

I created another Virtual Machine and added my windows xp, vista, and ubuntu partitions, and I set up my ubuntu.vmx with this (same as my physical HD, so grub reads the right partitions)

 

ide0:0.present = "TRUE"

ide0:0.fileName = "Ubuntu.vmdk"

ide0:1.present = "TRUE"

ide0:1.fileName = "vista.vmdk"

ide0:2.present = "TRUE"

ide0:2.fileName = ""

ide0:3.present = "TRUE"

ide0:3.fileName = ""

ide0:4.present = "TRUE"

ide0:4.fileName = "winxp.vmdk"

ide0:5.present = "FALSE"

ide0:5.fileName = ""

 

I put Ubuntu.vmdk on ide0:0 because if I don't, then Grub will give me error 17 again.

 

When I try to boot up into any partition, I get Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format

I also notice that only the vista and ubuntu partitions are loaded

 

When I try to boot into ubuntu, it hangs at the line:

*Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)		[OK]

 

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!
