Hello Alex, The bug you have referred us to has been fixed. It seems to me that the issue is specific to your setup. If you would like your bug to be resolved, please provide additional information so that the problem can be identified. It would be useful to know at which point the installation fails, what errors (if any) are printed, how you partition your drive, which boot manager you use (and anything else that you deem would *actually* be useful to fixing your problem).
Please understand that it is unreasonable to expect the wiki to be amended with: "this release is absolutely inappropriate for installation from LiveCD on a Macbook Pro 3,1 Santa Rosa.", when you in fact seem to be the only one who has made this claim so far.

Status in The Linux Kernel: Fix Released Status in Mactel Support: New Status in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Please amend the wiki; this release is absolutely inappropriate for installation from LiveCD on a Macbook Pro 3,1 Santa Rosa. Loved Hardy for some months. Upgrade from Hardy seemed reasonably stable. Formatted hard drive and decided to go dual-boot with Mac OS 10.5.x (previously single-booting Hardy) and encountered innumerable errors during install. Crashed upon reboot. Hundreds of lines of errors scrolled by. Previously attempted this over a month ago and tried again today with a freshly downloaded and burned LiveCD -- same effect. Please, PLEASE amend the wiki or otherwise warn owners of this particular MacBook Pro model against attempting install off LiveCD. I have found it all terribly misleading. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
