I installed Chameleon and linux doesn't show up?
So I have 2 hardrives. One has OSx86 on it (IDE) and the other has Windows 7 and Ubuntu on it (SATA).
When I installed Chameleon I didn't have Ubuntu installed. I just partitioned my SATA drive so I could put it on there. Well in Chameleon the little icon for Linux doesn't show up. The one for OSX and Windows do though. It would be a lot more helpful to me if linux showed up so I wouldn't have to press F11 every time I want to boot into linux. Anyone know the solution? Do I just have to reinstall Chameleon or something?

I am using Chameleon 2.0RC1
Why do ya ask? Btw thank you for the quick reply to my question I'll reboot now to see if it worked EDIT: Reinstalling Chameleon didn't work. Linux still does not show up under the boot loader? Any other ideas?

just wondering, because the new chameleon is one i havent had a lot of experience with, hmm thats weird, which partition did you reinstall chameleon onto?
because the new chameleon can show you your options over all hdd's whereas the old one couldnt, so i dont see why it wouldnt work. maybe search around here and insanelymac or even at the chameleon forums to see if anyone else has had the same issue. iMac ::: Mac OS X 10.6.1 ::: Intel Core2Duo 2.93GHz ::: NVIDIA Geforce GT 120 256MB ::: 4GB DDR3 RAM Milanca Project ::: Mac OS X 10.6.1 Retail ::: Vanilla Kernel ::: Intel Core2Quad Q6600 2.4GHz ::: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 256MB ::: 4GB DDR2 RAM ::: GIGABYTE GA-EP35C-DS3R |

I installed it on my SATA hard drive. That hard drive also has windows on it.
So my setup is SATA (windows and linux) IDE (OSx86) I'll search around the chameleon forums =P If anyone knows what I should do on these forums it would be great if you could share your knowledge Mac OS X 10.5.5 • Voodoo 9.5.0 • 2.7 GHz AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ • 2 GB 1334 MHz DDR2 • NVIDIA GeForce 9500M-M MB • Maxtor 75 GB IDE |

You need to install grub to the partition itself for Chameleon to pick it up. ;-)

i don't wanna mess my bootloader, and then don't know how to reinstall from a command line (cause i only had kaliway installer, which bring me only terminal app).

1. Boot from a Live CD, like Ubuntu Live, Knoppix, Mepis, or similar.
2. Open a Terminal. Go SuperUser (that is, type "su"). Enter root passwords as necessary. 3. Type "grub" which makes a GRUB prompt appear. 4. Type "find /boot/grub/stage1". You'll get a response like "(hd0)" or in my case "(hd0,3)". Use whatever your computer spits out for the following lines. 5. Type "root (hd0,3)". 6. Type "setup (hd0,3)". This is key. Other instructions say to use "(hd0)", and that's fine if you want to write GRUB to the MBR. If you want to write it to your linux root partition, then you want the number after the comma, such as "(hd0,3)". 7. Type "quit". 8. Restart the system.
