    Re: Ubuntu on MacBookPro7,1

    Hello all,

    i ran in the same problem as pklat trying to install GNU/Linux on my MacBookPro7,1 since I got it last week.

    This is more of a recapitulatory post / a sharing of my own experience.

    I basically came to the same point: the SATA bus doesn't work properly, thus rendering the hard drive as well as the DVD reader unusable; booting from USB works, but the problem remains the same.
    Altough the nVidia MCP89 chipset seems to be supported (see ahci.c since 2.6.29-rc6), it doesn't semm to work as expected.
    I tried multiple Live-CDs with no luck. I also built a custom 2.6.33.2 kernel and booted with it... same thing

    Seeing the minor changes made to ahci.c for MCP89 "support", I'm wondering if this isn't more of a preliminary work for supporting this chipset than anything else.

    how did you make it work?

    I'am struggling with USB-Live Stick since Karmic..

    Creating a Live-Stick for 9.04 was no problem... but since Karmic I never made it work..

    Re: Ubuntu on MacBookPro7,1

    I made a bootable USB stick with the "usb-creator-gtk" utility from lucid.
    I also tried with Slax6 Live-CD + USB.
    Both worked.

    Re: Ubuntu on MacBookPro7,1

    I'm getting mine on monday so I'll be investigating as well.

    Glad to see I'm not the only one that can't live without Ubuntu on my new (and first) mbp!

    Cheers!

    Just to get this rigth:
    1. You booted your Mac with a Lucid Live-CD

    2. Within the Live-Session, you plugged in a USB-Stick

    3. Then, you started usb-creator-gtk and created the Stick

    4. You rebooted your Mac
    ------

    And now?
    You plugg in the Stick and boot the Mac from it? How does it work? Did you press the ALT-Key and could select the stick?

    Because thats the tricky thing with me. Without having rEFIt installed within OSX, my MacbookPro4,1 won't recognize the stick at boot-time.
    Having rEFIt installed, my Mac shows it within the EFI-Menu. Till Karmic, I could then boot from the stick following this tutorial:
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1261747
    You can see from that tutorial, that it is/was a damm hack to get it run...

    ...and now nothing else needs to be done to create a Live-USB-Apple-Stick?
    Cannot imagine that... or is it due to your "new" model Macbook7,1 (and me having a 4,1)

    Re: Ubuntu on MacBookPro7,1

    I have rEFIt installed, and boots from the CD using rEFIt boot menu.
    At this time the CD is inserted (obviously) and the USB stick plugged.
    I know Slax6 searches for the stick to use by design (faster, persistent changes, etc.) and I'm guessing that Ubuntu does the same thing or falls back to using the stick because it cannot find any CD/HDD.

    Re: Ubuntu on MacBookPro7,1

    Same story here.

    MacBookPro7,1 purchased a few days ago.

    Tried both, Karmic and Lucid RC.


    When booting off the internal DVD drive livecd loading process drops you into busybox and complains that no drive detected.

    Booting of external USB DVD drive takes you into Livecd environment on both Karmic and Lucid RC and I did not have to change acpi mode or any other kernel parameters, goes straight through with default settings.

    Wireless works in both after activating "Broadcom B43 wireless driver" via propriety drivers menu.

    But hard drive is not detected!!!!

    "fdisk -l" and Gparted dont show anything

    I might try building a live CD when I have more time although ARCH runs kernel 2.26.33.2 and encountered the same problem - maybe more luck when 2.26.34 comes out.
    It would also be useful to get some more information about the SMC; if you would follow http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=924096 and post the result here, that would be great.

    Cheers!
