General :: Triple Booting And Loading OS X86 From Grub?

Jan 5, 2010

I'm triple booting (windows, ubuntu and osx86) at the moment but in order to load OSX86, I need to pass "cpus=1" to the kernel otherwise it won't load and the PC just reboots. Can I pass this argument from grub or do I have to install osx to a separate hdd and get grub to load the Darwin bootloader on the second hdd and then pass the argument?

Fedora Installation :: Triple Booting Using Grub 2

Jun 11, 2011

I'm a former Ubuntu user who jumped ship to Linux Mint. I currently am dual booting Windows 7 and Linux Mint 11 using Grub 2. Is there a way to install Fedora last? Much of the reading I have done suggests Fedora needs to be installed before Mint/Ubuntu. By the way, I have searched the forums and it has been suggested to wipe out Ubuntu, install Fedora and then re-install Ubuntu. I would much rather shrink the Windows partition and install Fedora before Mint and update Grub.

Ubuntu Installation :: Add Windows 7 To Grub For Triple Booting?

Feb 11, 2010

I will like to triple boot Ubuntu, XP and Windows 7, but I already had Ubuntu and XP running on separate HDDs, Ubuntu was installed first, then I installed XP on a separate HDD (with the Ubuntu HDD disconnected), now I did the same for Windows 7, I disconnected all other HDDs (Ubuntu, XP and Data)and installed windows 7 on a separate HDD.When I connected everything back(Ubuntu HDD, XP, Data HDDs and Windows 7 HDD, Windows 7 does not appear on grub boot menu and now Windows 7 does not boot up by it self.

Is there a way to simply add Windows 7 to Grub so I can have all 3 OS's on grub menu?Can grub search HDDs to look for OSs to add to the menu?Funny thing is the XP entry on grub appeared by it self, I've never edited grub to add XP on the booting menu, I was booting directly to XP by going into the BIOS and selecting the XP HDD as my booting drive instead of Ubuntu HDD, somehow XP was added to the grub booting menu.

Debian :: Embedded BIOS Not Booting / "loading Grub" Takes Ten Minutes And Then Crashes?

Jun 7, 2011

i am working with an old system that uses a BIOS meant for embedded systems. According to my coworkers this thing boot some version of debian about two years ago. currently I have used there old image and a new one I made of the latest Debian stable build. both images fail to get passed grub.

to be clear the BIOS simply replies "loading grub" takes ten minutes and then crashes.

has anyone ever had trouble with grub crashing systems? this problem seems odd since is did boot with this two years ago and i still have that image.

Ubuntu Installation :: Triple Boot Loading With 10.04

Dec 21, 2010

I want to install a triple boot load consisting of Windows 7, Ubuntu 10.04, and Fedora.My question is, if I install Windows 7, followed by another distro, like Fedora, and then install Ubuntu 10.04, will the Ubuntu GRUB 2 menu display all three options?I know if I install Ubuntu and then install Fedora, I have to go through some heavy gyrations to get everything to show in the load menu, so it seems easier to install Ubuntu last.

OpenSUSE Install :: Loading On Triple Booted MacBook?

Jun 6, 2011

This is my first post to this forum! I'm just getting into openSUSE and really excited to get involved in it. I have a MacBook running OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) that I triple booted using Disk Utility. I installed openSUSE, (not WFindows yet), and have it set up to load using reFIT. reFIT can see that openSUSE is installed, but when I choose to load it it displays the following error message:

"No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key" I have the feeling there is something very simple I'm doing wrong I know this post isn't extremely detailed to please let me know whatever other information I should provide.

Fedora Installation :: Error Loading FC10 X64 In Triple Boot?

Debian :: Grub Load Error "Grub Loading Stage1.5. Grub Loading, Please Wait... Error 15"

May 23, 2010

When I try and boot my Debian computer I get the messages: Grub Loading stage1.5. Grub loading, please wait... Error 15 Is there any way of recovering from this - or is it simply a fresh install? I was attempting an upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze and despite a few hurdles it looked like it was all happening. Got the new kernel loading, and the new grub. It looked as though grub2 was working so I ran the grub-remove-legacy-support command (something like that) and now my computer won't boot grub or Linux.

I'm assuming the MBR on my harddrive is lost, however I don't know what state the partition is in. I'm guessing that maybe this has been lost as well. I tried a few tools from the Ultimate Boot CD but nothing here was able to re-install my grub or boot from any partition or even mount my file-system. I'm fearing the worst but would like it confirmed before I blow it all away with a new install.

Ubuntu Installation :: Triple Booting On An MBP?

Nov 18, 2010

I'm trying to get a triple-boot setup working with rEFIt and OSX 10.6.5/Win7/Ubuntu 10.10. I'm finally to a point where rEFIt shows a OS X, Windows, and Linux option but the Linux item boots up windows. I just finished booting the live CD and installing grub on the ubuntu partition, but rEFIt is *still* booting windows with the Linux menu entry (and no new entries have appeared since the GRUB reinstall).

Here's what the rEFIt partition inspector is currently showing - can anyone spot any problems? Note: Currently I have 5 partitions (OS X @ 60GB, Win @ 120 GB, Ubuntu (swap) @ 2 GB, Ubuntu @ 58 GB, and a general storage partition (formatted in OS X's HFS).

Code:
Report for internal hard disk

Current GPT partition table:
# Start LBA End LBA Type
1 40 409639 EFI System (FAT)
2 409640 117597143 Mac OS X HFS+

Ubuntu / Apple :: Triple Booting On Mac?

Dec 24, 2010

I have an Intel iMac that has about 500 GB of unused space and I was wanting to install Ubuntu or Ubuntu studio or any Linux distro on about an extra 50 - 100 GB of space. I currently have the iMac with a windows bootcamp partition on it as well. Is it too late to partition the main partition and install Ubuntu on it without having to erase it and reinstall the Mac OS and Windows on it? Also, I wanted to try Ubuntu studio on a live CD, but when I hold C and bring up the preboot environment then I don't see an option to "try Ubuntu without changing anything".

General :: Installed CentOS 5 - When Booting All Mouse (loading)?

Nov 3, 2010

I've installed CentOS lot's of times, but I've never had an issue like this before. It's just a black screen, and all I see is a mouse. I see some drive activity, but I gave it a good hour and it's just sitting there. Not sure what to do here or what's causing the issue. There were no problems during the install. I'm trying to install it on an old Dell PowerEdge 1900 server. Edit: If I go to the console, top is showing X and gdm taking 10+% of the CPU and there's a high load. Which is odd because this is a fresh install..

Ubuntu / Apple :: Triple Booting On A Macbook Pro?

Nov 18, 2010

I would like to triple boot my Macbook Pro. I don't want to use rEFIt. Although it worked on my iMac, it would randomly not load the OS's sometimes.

1. Is there a way to use Boot Camp?

2. I know how to use Mac with the windows xp bootloader. How can i put Ubuntu in too? I got this thing about taking 512 megabytes of the bootloader grub or something like that but I don't get it.

OpenSUSE Install :: Failed Attempt At Triple Booting

Apr 6, 2010

I installed from a live CD when it came to selecting the partition I re-sized the partition that Ubuntu was on because it was 68 gigs I shaved off 15 gigs for SUSE. Then I selected this new 15gig partition to install SUSE on, everything went fine with the installation I was tinkering around on SUSE but of course I needed internet access, so I go to get on Ubuntu where I had my file with my network key. I restarted expecting to see the usual GRUB boot-loader screen only now with an added option for SUSE. Instead I see an entirely new layout for the GRUB boot loader and all that is listed is SUSE, Failsafe SUSE, Windows XP, and Floppy. The Windows is my XP install and it loads fine sadly it is actually what I'm using now because it is the only thing left that I have my network key saved so I can get on this forum.

Looking on SUSE I notice that the 50gig partition formerly known as Ubuntu still exists I figure no problem add the partition back on to the boot-loader and I'm good to go. Added it and when I select to load it nothing happens it starts to then reverts back to the OS list. Does anyone A) Know how to resolve this or have any ideas. B) Think I can at least copy files off that 50 gig partition to an external hard drive.

OpenSUSE Install :: Triple Booting Mac OS X.6 And Windows XP On Macbook Pro 7.1

Aug 4, 2011

I am having problems with triple booting my system. The original Linux OS I started out with was Ubuntu, which I was able to triple boot in the desired configuration (Mac OSX, Unbuntu, and Windows XP) after several tries (the instructions I got weren't quite right). I am now trying to install openSUSE instead of Ubuntu. However, if I install openSUSE before Windows XP, Windows XP erases my installation. If I install it afterwards, it seems to erase Windows XP, as it becomes unbootable thereafter. Perhaps this is because I am following the instructions for installing Ubuntu (format partition 3 as Ext3, mount it as /, and install the grub boot loader inside that partition), without modifying much else. I can't seem to find any good instructions online to tell me what else to do.

the instructions on installing Ubuntu screwed up because it said I had to install Windows XP first, before installing Ubuntu. I found out it was the other way around. Also, while Ubuntu was installed, all three partitions showed up on disk utility (although the Linux partition wasn't a recognized file system). However, every time I've installed openSUSE, where the partition should have been showed up as empty space on disk utility.

Ubuntu Installation :: Triple Booting With Snow Leopard?

Oct 25, 2010

Hey there. Currently my Toshiba laptop is dual-booted with windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10 and I think I may try and triple-boot it with Snow Leopard. I'm not too familiar at all with hackintoshes so, how should I go about configuring a partition for the OS?

Also: is there any known problems running windows and a mackintosh OS?

If someone can give me some insight here I can also provide my computer's specs.

Feb 1, 2010

Few days back i was searching for triple booting my mac through this ubuntu forum.and i ran into command name bless

General :: Lost Partition - Grub Loading But Can't See LVM Drive

Aug 22, 2010

I've resisted the urge to post for as long as I could. I use these forums quite often in finding answers to the numerous linux questions that I've had & found it to be a great resource. For some reason after an innocent reboot of my Fedora 12 Core system, GRUB decided it would no longer load the O/S. I was just getting a flashing _ in the top left of the screen. I thought there must be a problem with the partition table & have used the systemRescueCd to run testdisk (I have made a copy of the disk first to an image file using dd - don't worry I made sure I got the commands around the correct way!).

testdisk shows that I have a partition which is bootable & Primary, which appears to be the grub partition (I can list the files in test disk). However when I search the disk I get the following after it has found a couple of partitions. (it is an 80Gb disk)

Ubuntu Installation :: Triple Boot With Grub?

Sep 11, 2010

I have (only bc i have to) windows vista, also Ubuntu 10.04 on the same drive, and dual-booting is no issue at all. But after I installed Mandriva 2010 to try to triple boot, i couldn't find Ubuntu anymore so I got rid of mandriva, and grub was messed up bc I deleted all mandriva partitions. So then I installed Xubuntu 9.10 (because it is a quick install) to recover grub, and with Xubuntu, Ubuntu, and vista, Grub sees all three OSes no problem. So what would I have to do to make Grub work this way when I install Mandriva?

General :: Grub Loading Stage 1.5 Error 21 Win7 / OpenSUSE

Jul 28, 2011

A few days ago I installed openSUSE 11.4 on a 1TB HP external hard drive. I have some very important files for school and personal work on my main hard drive, running windows 7, so I made sure the installation only affected my external hard drive. With the external hard drive plugged in it boots just fine but when it is un-plugged it says Grub loading stage 1.5. Error 21 and it won't do anything. This kind of pisses me off because there were no warnings and nothing was supposed to happen to my main hard drive. But this has already happened and now I want to know if there is any way I could fix it so I can boot windows 7 normally and still boot openSUSE with the external hard drive plugged in.
