I have Lion 10.7.2 installed nicely, following Tony's Unibeast USB method. It's installed on its own SSD, which I bought specially for the purpose. Once installed, I ran Multibeast so that it's able to boot without needing the USB again.
But I also have some previous installed OSs - Windoze 7 and various flavours of Linux. The latter on another SSD. I also have three (count 'em) mechanical hard drives installed (two left over from an old machine), and I've dedicated one of these to Time Machine backups.
My problem is that it's the Windoze/Linux SSD that's the default boot disk. That runs Grub2, through which I can access all my OSs except the OS X Lion. Sure enough, there are two entries for the latter (a 32-bit one and 64-bit one), which Grub2 has found. Neither of these works though. From what I've read, these both try to boot the Mach kernel directly, whereas what I really need is a Grub entry that chainloads the Chamelon (or is it Chimera?) boot up that Multibeast installed for my Lion install.
Can anybody point me in the right direction? I have searched and tried a couple of methods, such as Biafrog's at http://tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?t=38724&p=245668 but to no avail. Grub gives me either "no such partition" errors or some kind of "signature error".
At the moment, I can only boot to Lion by accessing my BIOS and changing the drive boot order every time. That's livable with but a bit of PITA!
