You should probably update your bios to version 2003 and update OS X to 10.6.7.

Did you install the 64 bit version of com.apple.boot.plist from MultiBeast?

hi this is great job thanx a lot

but i'm looking for a solution of multi boot .. let me explain

i made osx installation on a blank sata maxtor hard drive
i have already a mutli boot solution working before with grub and can load linux or win 7

but i' have certainly missed someting ...

so if i want to boot on osx i have to change my hard drive configuration in the p7p55d bios to AHCI the i boot directly on osx and can reach my other partition
and i have to do it again but change hard drive settings to Ide mode to boot on grub

if i try to boot on win 7 with ahci i'm getting a blue screen an crash during win 7 boot

i have also tried with plugin osx HD on the JBmicron SATA controller and the just have to change my boot order, but with this i can't reach any other hd even Dvd optical drive

so what i'm ideally looking for is a solution like add a new grub entry for osx but i still will have to deal with achi or ide mode on asus bios

i'm pretty sure that i missed sommeting or my answer is somewhere but haven't see it

thx for any answer
& again thx for great job here

Windows must configured for ahci, the "easiest" way is to install windows again with ahci "ON" in your bios, after that boot with iboot-cd and load MacOSX, install multibeast with chameleon bootloader again and look in your bios, the MacOS Harddrive must be the first boot device. After that you have the multiboot Screen and no more bios edits.
