Re: [Grml] grml and mactel
I booted grml from the live cd on macmini. I plugged an 8GB usb flash drive into the macmini. I used grml2hd to install onto my flash drive.
I then rebooted macmini while the flash was plugged. Refit saw my flash drive with a linux icon. I chose to boot from that. I failed. The error message was something like cannot find OS to be loaded.

- install grml on a flash drive (usb) using grml2hd
On which computer have you booted into grml? I assume you are trying to install grml from a running grml?
- my computer is MacMIni (Intel)
Sweet.
- i install RefIt which shows me options to boot from my flash drive
Yeah, very nice.
However, it seems like I need to do something about EFI.
Why? How do you come to this conclusion? What is not running?
Can you boot anything else than Mac OSX from refit? Have you tried a GRML live cd?
Do you have any idea about making the flash bootable by EFI (not BIOS)?
I thought your USB device was shown in rEFIt?

OK so far.

Good.

Not good.
The error message was something like cannot find OS to be loaded.
Sorry to say that, but without a crystal ball no one will be able to help. Maybe you should tell the *exact* error message?
Maybe you could test the stick on a non-mac computer, just to be sure that it is working? And that this issue is (or is not) related to e.g. GPT-Issues.

Hi OJ,
I am sorry I did not attach the exact error message. I did not have computer access at the time.
Here comes the exact error message:

Hi OJ,
I have just made a fresh installation and it can be booted from PC. What I did are:
* boot grml live cd from macmini * plug usb flash drive into macmini * grml2hd into that flash drive * on the very last installation process, i select to install lilo on mbr * i shutdown macmini * i plug that flash drive into my pc * i can boot grml from that flash drive on my pc properly
However, when I tried on macmini, it shows the same error message I provided you before.

As far as I can see it is a Mac related problem, or rather a refit related one.
Try to hold down the ALT key when booting, then refit should not appear. Instead (I hope) the builtin apple Boot menu should appear, with your flash drive selectable. Try to boot it from this menu, and see what happens.

I have tried that but it did not work as well. I am thinking it is about EFI (GPT). I think I will need a way to place some EFI files inside (maybe) /efi/ directory. I am still digging. Thanks -- Chaitat Piriyasatit

Maybe try some more sticks, USB HDDs, CDs, whatever. Or just remove refit, and try with the Apple thingy.

Now I tried repartitioning the harddisk that contains macosx using BootCamp which prepared the disk for installing Windows for 8GB. Then I booted my macmini with GRML live cd. I used fdisk to partition that /dev/sda3 and maked as bootable. Then used grml2hd /dev/sda3 to install grml into this partition.
Looking good so far.
After I had finished installation, I rebooted and booted grml from rEFit. Yeah... I see GRML first page where I can select which kernel to boot of. I used the default, the monitor gone blank. I rebooted and tried the second line, 'grml debug' something, I got "Kernel Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

I have just tried installing Ubuntu 8.10 on /dev/sda3 (next to /dev/sda3 that I have grml installed) and it works. I can boot Ubuntu.
I am on hold on the usb installation because I am lacking of knowledge about efi. I think BootCamp did something on my GUID Partition Table when it created a vfat partition for Windows.
Anyway, I will concentrate on the harddisk installtion first.
I prefer grml... I use grml at home and I am so happy. I can only take my macmini to the office. Not enough budget to buy a new computer. I believe there is some few things wrong... the grml live cd is working perfectly...

So, basically booting Linux on your Mac works.
I am on hold on the usb installation because I am lacking of knowledge about efi.
If it is EFI related. Try to install another Live Linux onto your stick, and test it. Try to make it a superfloppy (not partitioned), and test then.
But as the stick boots on your PC, I would say EFI...
I think BootCamp did something on my GUID Partition Table when it created a vfat partition for Windows.
Why? Just in case, have you synced GPT/MBR via rEFIt?
Anyway, I will concentrate on the harddisk installtion first.
Although that seems to be another issue...
