[SOLVED] Mac Pro: Ubuntu 8.10 Live CD does not start

[Gsundbrunn]

I tried different Distros as well. What exactly happens is that in the moment the Ubuntu CD starts, the monitor does not get a signal. Ich checked that out. That - in my eyes - means, my graphic card isn't supported!

Would be interesting to know, which version of MacPro are running with Ubuntu and, which graphic card was built in.

Have you tried an Alternate install CD, the graphics are simpler and may be enough to get to the first screen with some video options.

Let say it this way: the first - lets call it "ping" from the starting CD to the screen doesn not work. Independent of the version and the distro and so on.

I tested another CD and DVD with other content than Linux - and the starting of the content worked.

Its definitively related to the Linux CD´s...

Strange....

To bring the topic up again - it´s really important for me as I´m donig my business partially with Linux.

The same CD´s are booting well on a MacBook Pro.

Hi,

issue is solved - I did a SMC reset and everything works well now. Inbetween a 8.10 64 bit is running very, very speedy on my machine

Thanks for all the tips inside here!
