So I have Ubuntu and Windows dual-booting on one hard disk, my primary /sda. This has worked fine and except for the odd little problem here and there (GRUB2 finding Vista as 'Recovery Environment' once and then never changing back, everything worked perfectly.
That is, until I added a new 160GB hard drive and installed Fedora. For some strange reason that I can't figure out, after successfully installing Fedora and rebooting, booting into Ubuntu and running grub-update, it added TWO new entries, BOTH Mac OS X, one 32-bit and one 64-bit. It is correctly identifying that hard drive as /sdc, and it has the correct partition, but that's where the correctness ends. Of course, it has set the boot options completely wrong (HFS+ as filesystem, for example, among many others) so now I can't get into Fedora.
So -- I know you're not supposed to, but I could manually edit /boot/default/grub and change the entries if I knew the proper flags, etc. However if there's a better solution I'm all ears. I've googled this a lot and never have I found a single other example of Fedora being identified as Mac OS X by GRUB2... :confused:
Thanks everyone!
