If you have given the /boot partition on the second harddisk itself, then make sure that the partition is marked bootable.

Now I have mac os, ubuntu (64-bit) and windows home premium (also 64 bit) on my mac. Just finishing off the ubuntu install (with propriertry drivers.<BR/><BR/>Here is what I did (although, as it took a bit of experimenting - removing and reinstalling again and again 'till I got it right it wasn't the order I did it in myself). But it should work, let me know if anyone else succedes!<BR/><BR/>First I created 2 new partitions, 1 for ubuntu and 1 for windows. I used the diskutil resizeVolume option. I had a 320 GB disk so the command was:<BR/><BR/>diskutil resizeVolume /dev/disk0s2 220G "UFS" "Linux" 25G "MS-DOS FAT32" Windows 0G<BR/><BR/>Aparently "Linus" as a file system type isn'r supported anymore. The 0G at the end tells diskutil to use all the remaining space apparently. I got around 50 GB.<BR/><BR/>I then installed rEFIt (as mentioned above). They have an installer now so it was just a question of double clicking and following the wizard.<BR/><BR/>I then shut down the machine and rebooted with the windows CD (holding down the alt key). Did the normal windows install (picking out the last partition - 50GB). This process required 2 reboots and each time I held down the alt key and selected the windows disk (this is the boot camp menu and not rEFIt).<BR/><BR/>Now came the tricky part. I rebooted with the ubuntu install disk (again holding down the alt key). I chose to run ubuntu from the DVD (not the install option). You come up in "live mode".<BR/><BR/>In ubuntu "live" mode I opened a terminal window and formatted my linux partition (the one formated UFS) as ext3.<BR/><BR/>sudo mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sda3<BR/><BR/>I did this seperately (and not as part of the install so as not to let install write to the partition table - at one point yesterday I had ubuntu working but not windows and vice versa - ubuntu and grun was sabotaging my windows boot and windows wouldn't repair it afterwards!).<BR/><BR/>I then double clicked on the install icon in the ubuntu live desktop.<BR/><BR/>I then followed the wizard. Points to note.<BR/><BR/>Use manual for setting up your partition. The only thing I did here was edit /dev/sda3 and set it to "/" and ext3 (without the format my disk option! We have already formatted it!).<BR/><BR/>At the last stage, before we install I clicked advance. Her we have the install boot option. I changed the place where the installer suggested (I think it was hb0) to my linux partition /dev/sda3).<BR/><BR/>I then installed ubuntu.<BR/><BR/>As a belt and braces thing I (still in ubuntu live mode) opened a terminal and removed the grub util itself and then windows from the grub menu (I guess rEFIt uses this somehow):<BR/><BR/>cd /tmp<BR/>mkdir ubuntu<BR/>sudo mount /dev/sda3 /tmp/ubuntu<BR/>sudo chroot /tmp/ubuntu<BR/>sudo apt-get remove grub<BR/>cd /boot/grub<BR/>vi menu.lst<BR/><BR/>commented out the following (this is how it looked after the edit):<BR/><BR/># This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS<BR/># on /dev/sda4<BR/>#title Windows Vista/Longhorn (loader)<BR/>#root (hd0,3)<BR/>#savedefault<BR/>#chainloader +1<BR/><BR/><BR/>I then closed the terminal and rebooted.<BR/><BR/>I then had a triple boot mac!<BR/><BR/>I finished of the windows install by inserting the first mac disk and running setup (to install the apple boot camp drivers - I could then use the wireless).<BR/><BR/>I then installed a well known free anti-virus program!!<BR/><BR/>I am now finishing off the ubuntu install (with the proprietry divers - the Hardware Drivers meny option under the system Administration menu).<BR/><BR/>I don't know whether this will work on a macbook (I have a pro). The pro supports 64-bit windows whish supports EFI (or so I have read). I don't know whether the macbook can take 64-bit windows (although it seems to have the same processor type so I guess it could).<BR/><BR/>Anyway good look and let me know how you get on!<BR/><BR/>/paulUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10948492976144571462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18125890.post-53962186983357745212008-11-01T13:41:00.000+05:302008-11-01T13:41:00.000+05:30Marco,I guess Fedora 9 Already supports the Latest...Marco,<BR/><BR/>I guess Fedora 9 Already supports the Latest Macbook versions.<BR/><BR/>You can do these simple things to identify<BR/><BR/>1.

I have problems that it seems to overheat easily, which I think has to do with the applesmc driver not recognizing my Macbook and (therefore) the fan not kicking in early enough.<BR/><BR/>Do you know how I can update this silly driver? Apparently the driver needs a patch from the Mactel list. Or something. I never did a kernel compile and are very uncomfortable with that. Is there any way I can persuade the FC people to add the patch to the FC9 release?Marco Devillershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16403899539858486372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18125890.post-69199459394134686752008-10-02T12:09:00.000+05:302008-10-02T12:09:00.000+05:30i'm using ndiswrapper rpm from livna (running well...i'm using ndiswrapper rpm from livna (running well so far). you can use broadcom driver from dvd supplied with macbook too. <BR/><BR/>isight (webcam) is just work, try with cheese (webcam application, already on yum repo). <BR/><BR/>i'm not try kernel 2.6.27 yet, but in newest fedora kernel (not rawhide) 2.6.26.3-29.fc9.x86_64 applesmc is running well. see my respond in bugzilla.dhechehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13929488732848231476noreply@blogger.com
