[Mactel-linux-users] snow leopard update trashed my Linux

[Geoffrey M. <li...@se...>]

I researched updating my osx to snow leopard.  Seems I've successfully  
upgraded, but in the process, my Red Hat Linux will no longer boot.   
The disk utility under osx shows all the partitions, but if I boot  
with a Liux rescue disk, fdisk shows only a gpt partition, and says to  
us gparted.  Of course, gparted does not come with any of the rescue  
solutions (fedora 11, red hat 5.3).

So, the question is, how do I recover my Linux partitions?  I seem to  
recall that I had to use gparted to create my Linux partitions, but  
can't find my references to that effort.

Regarding the snow leopard upgrade, the instructions I found said to  
resize the osx partition using gparted from Linux so that there was  
128 mb of free space following it.  When I ran gparted, it would not  
permit me to resize the osx partition, so I shrunk the partition that  
followed the osx partition and left the free space in front of the  
'shrunk' partition, thus giving my 128 mb space after the osx  
partition.  This appeared to permit the upgrade to snow leopard to  
run, but following the completion of the upgrade, I've lost my Linux  
install.

Any suggestions as to how to recover these would be greatly  
appreciated.  I backed up everything, but hate to think that I'm  
looking at a reinstall of Red Hat.
