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

[TimP]

A MacBookPro 2011.

I installed from USB external cd Ubuntu Server 12.10 and then tried to
update via apt-get install ubuntu-server.

>From the live CD I too got through to the drum roll, but nothing
displayed.

Looks like there are two problems one in USB driver the other in EFI
stuff (I installed rEFIt first).

I hope this gives some information to  a problem which is being
experienced by a few people.

(my optical drive has been swapped for an SSD, hence external USB)

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.
