![]() ![]() ![]() (just a note: it was easy enough to reverse everything i had done above, with no issues arising but it would be nice, to now have both Zorin and OS-X on the Macbook if it's possible) Has and member experience this GRUB problem, and knows what's wrong? The problem is when i chose to boot from the 'Linux on HD' in 'reFIT' os picker, all that happens is that a black screen appears with the word GRUB_ (and a flashing cursor), i did try the 'resyncing' hard drive partitions facility in 'reFIT' but it didn't do anything, and even reported the partitions were correctly synced. I have Zorin Core 5 installed on an external 100gig Solidstate hardrive, and i use Plop bootloader to boot it up using my Macbook 2.1, it works really great so i thought i'd give it a go installing it to the Macbook as a duel boot system, below is what i did (following the Ubuntu instructions).ġ:I partitioned OSX 160gig HD into an 80gig for OSX, and 80gig for Zorin, i did this using 'Boot Camp' and only created the partition as if i was installing Windows.Ģ: While still in OSX i installed 'reFIT' dual loader for Mac's.ģ: Then booted up the Macbook using the Zorin Ultimate DVD, and picked the 'installation' from the menu, when i got the point of choosing where to install i chose 'Custom', then created an 75gig Ext4 (/ root )partition, picking 'Format' and 'Beginning of the drive', and a 'Swap' of 5gig.Ĥ I then chose for the 'boot-loader' (Grub) to install to the same Ext4 partition i had created, and everything installed great.
