[Bug 816689] Re: Ubuntu 11.10 Daily Build (2011-07-26) won't boot (alternate amd64+mac) on a newer MacBook Pro

[Ansis Atteka]

In the Grub boot-loader I removed "quite" and "splash" kernel boot
options. And this was the last error message I saw before screen froze:
fb: conflicting fb hw usage radeondrmfb vs EFI VGA - removing generic
driver

If I add "nomodeset" to the kernel boot options then I am able to get
past that error message and atleast have access to command line. If I do
xstart then then it complained with "Screen(s) found, but none have a
usable configuration."

By the way I have MacBookPro 8,2 with external AMD graphics card.

Title:
  Ubuntu 11.10 Daily Build (2011-07-26) won't boot (alternate amd64+mac)
  on a newer MacBook Pro

Status in “syslinux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The summary says it all.  I insert the disc into my MacBook Pro,
  reboot, hold down the C key.  It loads up the ISO loader screen.  I
  select "Install Ubuntu", the screen goes black and remains that way.

  Please let me know if there is any more information I can give.
