nick.ncs Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Hi All, I have a PC with Ubuntu installed. So i created a new partition and installed "OSX Leopard for AMD" from a DVD. The installation was cool with no problems. Then i modified the grub to include the partition where i installed OSX but however when i try to load from the partition it is not booting, it gives me a "Error 12. Invalid Device Requested" error and does not boot at all. My system supports SSE , SSE2 and SSE3..... what could be the problem??? I am running an athlon 3800+ X2 processor... Also if any further specs or details are equired please let me know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if any further specs or details are equired please let me know... Always write down computer specs, installation method (like EFI/MBR/GUID and so on). Which "OSX Leopard for AMD" did you use? The problem sounds like a grub configuration error. Maybe this thread can help you out. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garlog Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 You installed OSX with EFI? Grub might interfere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
