[Bug 841996] Re: Ubuntu 11.10 beta 1 live CD doesn't boot on MacBook4, 1

[Colin Watson]

Do you even see the boot screen?  If not, this is a syslinux bug.  (I
expect it will only be fixable if a boot expert sits down with the
hardware, unless it's already been fixed upstream ...)

** Project changed: ubuntu-cdimage => syslinux (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Ubuntu 11.10 beta 1 live CD doesn't boot on MacBook4,1

Status in “syslinux” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  (Sorry if this is the wrong place for this bug report.)

  Ubuntu 11.10 beta 1 AMD64+Mac <http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/oneiric/beta-1/ubuntu-11.10-beta1-alternate-amd64+mac.iso>
  Ubuntu 11.10 beta 1 i386 <http://releases.ubuntu.com/oneiric/ubuntu-11.10-beta1-desktop-i386.iso>

  1. Burn the image to CD.
  2. Start the computer from the CD.

  What happens: A blinking cursor appears in the top corner of the
  screen, and nothing else.

  What should happen: Ubuntu should start up from the CD.

  This has happened with both AMD64+Mac and i386 images, burned on two
  different CDs, with two different disc burners. So the problem isn't
  the image validity, the disc, or the burner.
