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

[Fajran Iman Rusadi]

Hi all.. I made a really custom kernel package which is working on my
MBP 7,1. It is linux 2.6.35-rc3 vanilla patched with 2 patches from
Linux' bugzilla. The package can be found here
http://arsip.fajran.web.id/ubuntu-mbp71/

Please note that this kernel is highly customized. I didn't include
modules that, I believe, are not relevant with MBP7,1. Some drivers are
also compiled into the kernel, not as modules. If it is working on your
MBP 7,1, don't really hope that the kernel package can also be used on
other machines.

I haven't tried all the features but these are what I know

- 3d acceleration works, install nvidia proprietary driver
- sound (speaker and microphone) works too, please read instruction on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro7-1/Lucid
- isight does not work (I guess) because Cheese got crashed
- hdd performance is a lot better than before
- ethernet works
- wireless lan also works, please see a note below

to enable wireless lan, you can't use the broadcom b43 driver included
in Ubuntu 10.04 (version 5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu3). You need to use the
newer version (5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu5) that has been patched to
support Linux 2.6.35-rc3 that I use here (see also #590924). Download
the new packages from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl it is
for Maverick but it also works on Lucid

- https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/bcmwl-kernel-source_5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu5_amd64.deb
- https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/bcmwl-modaliases_5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu5_amd64.deb

last but not least, please use it at your own risk!
