[Ubuntu-US-CA] Ubuntu 10.10 fails to boot on Intel Macs

[Grant Bowman]

Has anyone else been bitten by the bug described below? My Maverick
experience has been frustrating so far on Intel Macs. I think a combination
of this bug and an ABI change in grub2 has prevented me from booting in
several different circumstances.

Hi.
I'd like to point you to a serious bug that seems to affect all Intel
based Macs.
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/633983
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,
