Re: [Grml] grml and mactel
Now I tried repartitioning the harddisk that contains macosx using BootCamp which prepared the disk for installing Windows for 8GB. Then I booted my macmini with GRML live cd. I used fdisk to partition that /dev/sda3 and maked as bootable. Then used grml2hd /dev/sda3 to install grml into this partition. Looking good so far. After I had finished installation, I rebooted and booted grml from rEFit. Yeah... I see GRML first page where I can select which kernel to boot of. I used the default, the monitor gone blank. I rebooted and tried the second line, 'grml debug' something, I got Kernel Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! -- Chaitat Piriyasatit ... waking up to pee and see whats up online On Mon, Mar 2, 2009 at 11:41 PM, Chaitat Piriyastit chait...@gmail.comwrote: he he he... thanks for your suggestions.

I have just tried installing Ubuntu 8.10 on /dev/sda3 (next to /dev/sda3 that I have grml installed) and it works. I can boot Ubuntu.

Re: [Grml] grml and mactel
Hi OJ, I have just made a fresh installation and it can be booted from PC. What I did are: * boot grml live cd from macmini * plug usb flash drive into macmini * grml2hd into that flash drive * on the very last installation process, i select to install lilo on mbr * i shutdown macmini * i plug that flash drive into my pc * i can boot grml from that flash drive on my pc properly However, when I tried on macmini, it shows the same error message I provided you before.

I have tried that but it did not work as well. I am thinking it is about EFI (GPT). I think I will need a way to place some EFI files inside (maybe) /efi/ directory. I am still digging.

However, it seems like I need to do something about EFI. Why? How do you come to this conclusion? What is not running? Can you boot anything else than Mac OSX from refit? Have you tried a GRML live cd? Do you have any idea about making the flash bootable by EFI (not BIOS)? I thought your USB device was shown in rEFIt? Regards, OJ -- Was ist die Zeit?
