[Bug 640089] Re: Panic on install from LiveCD - unable to mount root fs

[Steve Magoun]

To follow up on this - I talked to Colin Watson, who suggested that the
EFI boot wasn't expected to work well on this hardware. I got
installation to work by remastering the install CD - copy the contents
to a temp dir, them run mkisofs to generate an .iso from the tmp dir.
The resulting CD boots using the 'Windows' boot option provided by the
Macbook's firmware, and avoids the "Select CD-ROM Boot Type" prompt.

Based on this result, I'm not sure this is a real issue with the kernel.
