Hello

I had a smooth install on my probook 4530s using Unibeast, 10.7.4 and the Probook installer 6 beta 9. All has been working well while I was setting up my system and copying settings from my mac mini. Thanks to all of you those who have been working on this, it's very impressive.

However, now i can no longer boot into Lion directly from the hard drive (an SSD). It shows the HP screen, then just goes black with no text what so ever.

If I run Unibeast and boot into the filesystem it works fine and is fully operational. I have tried re-running the installer and reinstalling Chimera but it makes no difference.

Tracing back my steps to the last time i rebooted, I did make a change in partitions. There was an empty ntfs partion on there that I replaced with a Mac partition using Disk Utility, but I do not (or have ever) have dual boot set up on here.

Any suggestions on what I can try to fix the boot process?

Many thanks

Ben

Update: I managed to fix this by running gptsync via the ubuntu live install disk.
