Loading OS/X 10.7 by grub x86_64-efi fails

Loading OS/X 10.7 by grub x86_64-efi fails

[Andrey Borzenkov]

I have MacBook (Pro?) 3.1 with OS/X 10.7. I installed as second OS
openSUSE 12.3 using EFI CD boot (worked just fine) and x86_64-efi
grub2. I had to manually bless grub on EFI partition to actually boot
it. os-prober also found installed OS/X and added to boot menu.

The problem is, both 32 and 64 menu options crash during boot. Is it
supposed to work in the first place? If yes, which diagnostic I can
collect to debug it further?

To add - 30_os-prober is using xnu_* commands to boot OS X, and they
failed. Chainloading of /usr/standalone/i386/boot.efi works in current
trunk.

I suppose that the bootargs structure may have changed. I'll look into
it, thank you for reporting.

BTW I succeeded to boot OS X by
chainloading /usr/standalone/i386/boot.efi. This needed current trunk
with multiarch format support (on stock 2.00 I simply got unknown error
back).

Any progress on it? This has been reported by multiple users. If this
does not have chance to be fixed in reasonable timeframe, I'll rather
look at directly chainloading of /System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi
instead of using xnu.

What is the exact panic message?

That's what I've always done. Apple's EFI implementation is non-standard
and sometimes different in each generation of its computers. I just
therefore always chainload; it is more foolproof and works better than
xnu anyway in my opinion.

I stop this debate right here. That's besides the point.

Ok, that's helpful. I forgot about it. I'll look into it this weekend.
