[Mactel-linux-users] trashed refit

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

I have a MacBook Pro that was happily running MacOS X, Red Hat EL 5 and 
Fedora 9.  I wanted to install Red Hat El 5 64 bit, so I proceeded to 
replace my Fedora 9 with a new install of RHEL 64bit.  All seemed to go 
well until reboot.  Now, when it reboots, I get a square (I guess 
undefined OS) icon and the mac osx icon.  If I select the square icon, 
it attempts to boot, then produces a 'no operating system' error.  I can 
boot via the RH rescue disk and access all my filesystems.  How do I fix 
refit?  I've tried gptsync, but that does not fix the issue.  When I 
list the partitions in the refit shell, the Linux partitions are listed 
as 'basic data', is it possible this is the problem?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
