Hey Justin, just wondering if you had any progress with this bug. I found the bug you submitted to the linux kernel developers, and it looks like it was resolved, but do you still use acpi_osi=Darwin? If so did you get sbs to work? What boot options do you use? And what kernel version are you using? |

My linux partition is sda2 but it must be too big (50 GB) and the new files are now created outside range for the BIOS. Using lilo I got such an error message.

Hello!
This is my current config for 2.6.27 kernel. It's for an MacBookPro (2.Gen),
so you have to adapt some drivers.

I am still unable to boot anything greater than 2.6.25.14 on my MacBook2,1. Kernel hangs on startup with the following two lines: Kernel alive. Kernel really alive. And then just stops (it used to say stuff about MMCONFIG with 2.6.26). Am I the only one who's stuck with this? -- mike dentifrice <fl...@po...> |

To: Ludovic Rousseau <lud...@gm...> Partial success. I have installed Windows, for some stupid reason it also formatted my 120GB Linux partiion to NTFS, but I didn't care about that. My problem now is, that with Gparted I had to set a boot flag for XP (after the formatting of ext and my swap it was suddenly gone!) and now it shows up as EFI System in my GPT, as you can see below. Is there a way to change this back to some MS type?

You could use this partition scheme: 1. EFI (hidden by Disk Utility) 2. Mac OS X 3. Windows 4.

Hi everyone. Sorry if this email sounds rude/rough, but I have reinstall OSX 3 times today. All I want to do is nicely format my hard drive. No swap, nothing fancy. I want to shrink the OSX parition (disk0s2) from the full 186GB to only 25GB, add a new partition for my Linux "/" with 129GB and finally one for Windwos with 30GB. All the sites from Goolge use some "Linux" as the filesystem type for the parameter in diskutil. That is plain _WRONG_ with a 10.5 OSX install. There is no such thing! To make it even better, diskutil creates two empty partitions infront of the HFS+ partition. As a result I can not merge these partitions back in without dumping my OSX install. Can someone please be kind enough to provide me with the correct "filesystem" parameter needed to perform this action? Even better would be a "full" diskutil call... -- Felipe Sere PS: How the f### can Apple ship a partitioning tool that is not able to delete partitions?

Hi, I mastered triple boot on my macmini and it looks like this Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 26 204819+ ee EFI GPT Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda2 26 4595 36700160 af Unknown Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda3 4611 11791 57671680 83 Linux Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda4 * 11791 14594 22513072 7 HPFS/NTFS Now, from your listing I can see you add an extra swap partition. Afaik this is not possible with triple-boot. So you have to go with a swap file: /swap none swap sw 0 0 in fstab. The order of installing the systems was in my case: OSX -> Bootcamp -> WindowsXP -> Linux. I am not able to boot Windows from inital Bootcamp menu. Instead, I boot WinXP from the installed lilo (works on grub too, already tested). Hope this helps HARALD On Tue, 2008-09-23 at 19:08 +0200, Felipe Sere wrote: > Hi everyone.

Hi everyone. I am trying to get my Macbook Pro to tripe boot OSX, XP and Linux. Now, what I did was the following: 1. Install OSX on the HDD in one partition spanning the whole disk 2. Use BootCamp (2.0) to split off 32GB for WindwosXP 3. Install XP + updates 4. Shrink MacOSX partition to 25GB to make space for a linux install 5. Shrink WinXP partiion from 32GB to 30GB to make space for a swap partition behind XP 6. Partition the space between OSX and XP to ext3 Now. XP wont boot anymore and gives me a hal.dll error. This error comes when XP is not on the last visible partition to EFI (IIRC) That surprised me, as I thought that my partition scheme looked like this: 1.EFI 2.OSX 3. Linux (EXT3) 4. WinXP 5.SWAP Which should not have been a problem, as WinXP only sees up to partition 4 and thus itself as being on the last partition. Linux being EFI-aware should be able to see swap though. I veryfied the GTP and MBR scheme and this is what I got and what surprised me: GPT: # Start-LBA End-LBA Type 1 40 409639 EFI 2 409640 52576295 MacOSX HFS+ 3 323404515 386523899 EFI 4 386523900 390716864 SWAP 5 52580745 323404514 Basic Data MBR: # Start-LBA End-LBA Type 1 1 409639 EFI Protective 2 409639 52576295 MacOSX HFS+ 3 323404515 386523899 NTFS 4 386523900 390716864 SWAP Now, If I were to order them by LBA Start/End, it would make more sense, then in the GPT table the partitions 1 and 2 would stay, but number 3 would become number 4 (the NTFS partition), number 5 would become number 3 (the linux ext3 partition) and number 4 would become 5 (the swap parition). If with some magic the order could be changed without changing the LBA Start/End parts, thus, just reordering the table itself, without touching the partitions, and then syncing the GPT table to MBR I should be able to boot my configuration and proceed... If it is not possible, what is the correct order to achieve such a GPT table? If I partition first, I dont know how to get the MacBook to go hybrid allowing for advanced grafics under Linux (and probably windows), as that is done by Bootcamp IIRC. Thank you very much -- Felipe Sere |

Hi Pol,

Not sure about the MacBook, but my MBP 4,1 works as long as I fiddle
all the driver settings properly. Basically:
/etc/modprobe.d/options:options snd_hda_intel model=mbp3
Then unmute Mic and MicBoost and maximize level, and make sure Mic is
input source (look around alsamixer).
Note: My mic is in the left speaker - sort of where the power button
isn't... ;-)
Good luck / Jonas
