[solved] Mint partition w/grub not seen by chameleon -- help please!
Hello,
I am trying to get a dual boot with OS X and Mint 17 to work.
The Mac side is OK, the DVD install of Mint went fine.
GRUB was installed to the Mint partition, see pic.
But at boot the Linux partition is not displayed by Chameleon.
The partition is not hidden:
What am I blind to?
Thanks for help!

EDIT - For whom it may help:
Creating a hybrid MBR with gdisk did not help. Then I ran disk utility (booted into the mac partition), on the disk (not any partition), everything was OK, and then re-installed Chameleon for the umpteenth time (via ProbookInstaller). What made booting work now is unclear; all I noticed is that afterwards the MBR was protective again and the ext4 partition (Linux Mint) hat the msftdata flag set (WTF?). But as Mint is seen now in Chameleon, I'll investigate no further. HTH some despaired soul...
