Hi I recently bought a MacMiniIntel and wanted to install Debian on in (like on all my other PowerPC-machines).
I didn't follow the receipt in http://wiki.debian.org/MacMiniIntel as I have no other x86 machine at home. After upgrading the firmware to 1.0.1 and installing EFI boot loader (Version 0.7). Refit would recognise the daily debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso (as of August 6). Starting the installation worked like usual (Language/Keyboard selection, partitioning). I choose to install only the base system (no debian mirror). After electing elilo (GRUB/LILO were presented as alternatives) installing elilo stalled at 50%. I had accepted to install into the only presented partition (/dev/sda1, about 200 MB FAT32 partition, partman reported 3.1 kB free memory before.). This first partition was created my the Apple DiskUtility. /dev/sda6 where I installed the base system was formatted as an ext3 24 GB FS using the Debian installer. Switching to the Log (Alt-F3) showed the following messages: > Setting up elilo (3.6.2) > Couldn't load efivars module - is it statically linked? Any hints would be appreciated. If the MacTel needs a tester, I might be willing to help out (let's say do at least one installation of a base system from CD once a week till etch is out or till the end of year whatever comes first), but I do not have the time to dwelve very deep.
