[Bug 633983] Re: can't boot Meerkat beta amd64 livecd on core 2 duo macbook

[Przemysław Kulczycki]

I can confirm this bug on Macbook 2,1 - I tried to boot latest Maverick daily live CD (64-bit amd64 iso) and it failed - rEFIt recognised it as 3 entries (Linux, Legacy OS, and some EFI64 entry). The first 2 result in a black screen with:
----------
1.

2.

Select CD-ROM Boot Type :
-----------
The keyboard becomes unresponsive here and I can't go any further.
The third option says that it can't find a proper EFI image and offers to go back to rEFIt.

Also here you have some useful information on the same problem with booting 64-bit Windows Vista/7:

I don't think it is a bug with Linux - it's probably IsoLinux.
