Ubuntu 10.10 fails to boot on Intel Macs

[dbroomex]

I have a second generation Mac Mini that boots 10.10. I did initially have trouble but I went to the reFIT site which said I needed to update that package. I did and it works now. Let me know if anyone needs more information and I can send the specs for my machine and software version.

Hi.
I'd like to point you to a serious bug that seems to affect all Intel
based Macs.

Ubuntu 10.10 beta fails to boot on Intel Macs.
The Mac will hang right after Boot Camp/rEFIt with a black screen showing:
-----
1.

2.

Select CD-ROM Boot Type :
-----

This looks like an issue with the new release of Syslinux 4.x series,
which has trouble working with Apple EFI implementation.
I'd like to ask other owners of Intel based Macs and Macbooks to test
the latest daily live ISO on their hardware.
Regards,
