Chameleon loader apparently can't see my Linux partition.

[BladeRunner]

I have my internal SATA drive set for three partitiones using GPT.  When I had them formatted as disk0s2 Win7, disk0s3 OS X system, disk0s4 data:  Chameleon loader saw both system partitions and would boot them correctly.

Since I no longer needed the Win7 partition I changed it to a linux partition and installed openSuSE on it.  The linux system runs just fine if I use an external loader that can see it.  However, Chameleon apparently can't tell that there is a bootable system there.

This is what the OS X fdisk command shows for the partition table.

Code: [Select]

fdisk: 1> print

Is this the expected result or is there a way I can help Chameleon see the linux partition?

There a a few entries in the FAQ re: Linux and multi-booting, have you installed GRUB in the partition?

[BladeRunner]

Yes, grub is installed in the partition boot record.  That was the first thing I checked.  What surprised me about this is that I have a different version of linux installed on an external USB drive and the Chameleon loader sees it just fine if the drive is powered on.

The most obvious difference between the two linux systems is that the external drive is partitioned as MBR not GPT.

Thanks for the reply. I will go re-read the faq in case I missed something.
