Thanks for the reply...

I haven't kept notes... Most of this ocurred before I "discovered" 
SL... I had CentOS running nicely on my machine then screwed it up 
because I wanted something more "modern" and "media friendly"... Doh!  I 
am mostly trying to get a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" on continuing the 
effort... I have spent many hours on this and I am about to just say 
forget it... I don't HAVE to have my Mac/Hackintosh at home.  I MUST 
HAVE linux at home.  I work at home too much not too.  I tried 
VirtualBox w/CentOS 6.2, but apparently VirtualBox doesn't support 
nvidia native drivers, so that is out...

Anyway, I am only trying to get one of the linux distros to play nice 
with MacOSX.  I would prefer CentOS, or until I learned of SL I would 
have preferred CentOS, becuase it is the closes free distro to RHEL, 
which is the distro I use at work.  Actually, I use Redhawk at work, but 
I can't afford RHEL or Redhawk at home...

My machine has two identical hard drives, one for the mac osx and one 
for linux...

The problem is two-fold.  The hackintosh uses a bootloaded named 
Chimera.  When I install the linux according the the dual boot guide on 
tonymacx86.com website, only kubuntu 12.04 would boot properly when I 
rebooted. When I install CentOS, and try to reboot through chimera, the 
grub (?) menu never shows... the screen just goes blank after I select 
"Linux" in the chimera menu.  If I hit F12 and select the boot device 
manually and force CentOS to boot, then I can get in that way, but it 
seems borked... the drive linux is installed on /dev/sdb? has changed to 
/dev/sdc? and so I can't seem to get the nvidia drivers to install....

Anyway, like I said, was really just looking for someone who might have 
tried and failed to tell me it isn't worth my time, or perhaps someone 
who did suceed, and had the little bit of information I am looking for.
