I had the same problem but was helped out by Jens Schmaltzing who recommended as follows:
The only significant obstacle was difficulty in mounting the Mac partition (hda6) to be able to copy the installed initrd.img and vmlinux.img into the MacOS System Folder. It would appear that hfsplus module is not loaded by the installer. Thanks to Jens Schmalzing who suggested it, I found the module by exiting to a shell (Apple F2), cd to /target/lib/modules/fs and installed it using "insmod hfsplus". After that I could copy the two files to the system folder. (From Bug#260154) HTH Clive -- www.clivemenzies.co.uk ... ...strategies for business
