Title: Possible to boot a Linux Partition without GRUB from Chameleon?
Post by: jberryman on June 20, 2010, 07:44:34 PM

I recently installed Debian on a new partition of my Dell Mini 10v and it crapped out on the GRUB installation phase so I was forced to continue without a bootloader having been installed on the Debian partition.

From what I've read it looks like Chameleon is generally used to chainload GRUB to boot linux, but is it possible to boot the linux kernel directly from Chameleon?

I just need to boot into linux once and then install GRUB with apt. I suppose my other option is to install GRUB to a USB drive and boot my linux installation from that.

Thanks for any assistance and thanks to any of the devs out there for a great product.

Chameleon is only able to boot the XNU kernel, so it's not going to help you boot your Linux kernel.
