[Bug 576601] Re: [MacBookPro 7, 1]mcp89 sata link reset fails, no disks detected

[Jan]

Hello,

I managed to install single boot Ubuntu on Mac Mini 4.1 according to
this how-to
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation.
After selecting the "nomodeset" option when booting the Ubuntu Live-CD I
installed Ubuntu on hard disk. Trying to boot the installed Ubuntu from
the hard disk failed (ending up with a black screen soon after booting).
I tried to bring up Grub menu when booting from the hard disk and set
the "nomodeset" option with no success. I therefore booted from CD again
and mounted the partition with Ubuntu on it. Then I made the "nomodeset"
option permanent in the file /boot/grub/grub.cfg. After this I could
boot Ubuntu from my hard disk.

I enjoy now Ubuntu signle boot on Mac Mini. 4.1 but nevertheless I'll go
for the dual-boot option and stick with it until 10.10 with rumored EFI
support will come up.

Thanks,
Jan
