When I power on, without holding alt, the refit menu comes up, and gives me the option to boot Mac OS X or legacy. If I try legacy, occasionally it will boot Ubuntu, but sometimes not. If I try Mac, it will pull up the little gray apple logo, and not go anywhere from there. On the rEFIt menu, when I go in to sync, it tells me the tables are already sync'd and press any key to continue…I don't get an option to sync anyway. So how would I go about syncing? Also, when I try the EFI terminal, and try to run gptsync.efi, it gives me the same message.

Further, when I try to boot from my original Mac OSX cd, it won't boot the CD. I backed up everything with time machine prior to trying this out, so I'm not too worried….but what to try now?

I appreciate any help.

1) Boot from the Mac OSX install DVD and run disk utility
2) Create the partitions you want (I created 5 partitions: a common one for data to share between OSes, Linux, Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux Swap – in that order, be sure to add the labels as it will help identify partitions in installation of the other OSes). All of the partitions are “formatted” as MS-DOS FAT32, except the one where we install Mac OS (/dev/disk0s5 – the fourth of the partitions we created).
3) Install Mac OS X into the 4th of the partitions you created (this is actually the 5th partition (/dev/disk0s5) on the disk since the EFI partition is partition 1 (/dev/disks1)
4) Boot into Mac OS X and install rEFIt 0.13 or later and ntfs-3g.
5) Boot with the windows install CD, and install Windows to partition 4. DO NOT do any partitioning during the windows installation. You can format the partition where you are installing windows as NTFS. After installing Windows, you can install the apple device drivers from the Mac OS X install DVD. I waited until I finished installing Linux to do this.
6) Install the Linux of your choice to partition 3 (/dev/disk0s3), and assign the swap partition as /dev/disk0s6. I installed Debian Linux (kernel 2.6.26). During the Linux installation, I installed rEFIt so that I could use gptsync to synchronize the gpt prior to installing LILO. After installing LILO, I had to edit initframs.conf (under /etc/initrafs-tools/) and change “MODULES=most” to “MODULES=dep” (this is required otherwise you get a kernel panic). I also installed ntfs-3g to enable read/write access to the Data partition. At this point I finished the installation and booted using the rescue mode and ran a shell in /dev/disk0s3 and executed the command: update-initramfs -k 2.6.26-2-amd64 -u -v (I tried executing this command before rebooting, but I got an error, which was solved by rebooting)
7) Reboot and re-synchronize the gpt (it should already be OK at this point, but run it just to be sure)
You are good to go with a triple boot system, a shared partition, and a linux swap.

Hope that helps.
