As you all might know, it is currently impossible to boot the default install of F16 on Macs. It does not seem to matter if you use boot loaders such as reFit and Bootcamp or remove MacOS completely and try to boot. Apparently, if you somehow (how to use it is not very clear from the "Common F16 bugs" page, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F16_bugs#Incorrect_partition_type_assigned_to_.2Fboot_partition_on_GPT-labelled_disks) use the nogpt kernel parameter you might be able to install F16.
There are a couple of bugs open regarding this, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=752548 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=746895 are two examples. It seems like the boot procedure has changed quite a bit from F15 to F16, and not just the GRUB2 change. I am sure these were changed for the best of reasons, but it is very frustrating to not be able to use F16 on hardware that could run previous Fedoras very well. Also, there are a lot of Macs out in the wild, and by excluding them we shut out a large amount of (possible users). So what could be done about this? Would it be enough to have a visible nopgt option in Anaconda? Should we do special "Boot test days"? Or is something else needed? /Andreas -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
