Clayf700,
I'm hoping you can help me with my triple-boot issue. I've been on forums for days and have tried many combinations of reinstalls, Terminal commands, and general troubleshooting methods. I have worked as a network technician and built many computers, and my degree is in MIS, so this is very frustrating.
During my time on various forums, I've found my problem seems to be a recurring and necessary one, so it surprises me there isn't more comprehensive literature on exactly how to solve it. You can probably guess what's wrong already. I've successfully installed Mavericks and 8.1 Pro, and I can boot to both with Chimera 2.2.1 (they're on the same SSD). However, when I want to boot Ubuntu 13.10 from my secondary drive (HDD), the option in Chimera is not there.
I've designated Grub2 to be on the same ex4 partition as Ubuntu during installation (/dev/sdb1). I've run sudo grub-install /dev/sdb1 --force in Terminal on Ubuntu. I've reinstalled Chimera from within OS X. I think I've tried just about every supposed solution on the Internet, but nothing works. I still have to go through my boot priorities to load Ubuntu from an arbitrary boot device it seems to have created in the UEFI/BIOS. I'm not one to normally ask a forum for help; I usually shake my head at the people who don't do their research.
I can provide screenshots and more detailed information if necessary and if you'll help me... I'd really appreciate it. I just don't know where to go from here.
