Hi. I've got a G3 iBook with 2 bootable partitions of OS X 10.2 and a bootable Hardy Heron partition. I had a 4th HFS+ partition for scratch, but thought I would reformat it into HFS or FAT32 so both Ubuntu and OSX could read/write. I was running into permissions issues with HFS+. Using Gparted on a flash drive, and found that a FAT32 logical
partition within an extended partition worked well for both OS's, but then found that I couldn't convert the 4th HFS+ to an extended partition due to the mac disklabel, and instead reformatted from Gparted from the 4th HFS+ (6GB) to 3 2GB HFS partitions.
End Apartheid! Ubuntu recognized all three; restart to OSX, it recognized all three; restart to Ubuntu to begin file transefer testing, and OSX firmware(?) doesn't recognize the Ubuntu partition any more. :( Also, my ubuntu install hangs on shut down. Restart from ubuntu works fine, but I did force shut down quite a lot until I tried restart.
How might I get the firmware issue resolved?
:)
C.S.
p.s. It's a ppc.
