Wow, I'm in major trouble.

I have my macbook (model 6,1) and I decided to dual boot it with #! linux

but when I boot up GRUB says it can't see any devices

i can see both partitions (OS X and #!) from a LiveCD

How can I get a bootloader to let me use both?

Ah, a grim and typical distraught post

It took a lot of playing around with grub and stuff but this is what I did:
  • Changed a bunch of partition and grub settings (which did nothing but I thought I was fixing it)
  • Put in the MacOS X Recovery [del]Disc[/del] Flash Drive, which let me start up from my OS X partition
  • Installed rEFIt
  • Installed a new Ubuntu partition over my #! one for now

Problem solved :thup:
