Re: Installing elilo on MacMiniIntel fails
Hi, here's a full log of my macbook Does your macbook has the bootcamp upgraded firmware? Note that macbooks are initially shipped with 'bootcamp upgraded firmware' that supports BIOS emulation. I think ELILO doesn't work with Debian kernel right now without the patches, so it's currently impossible to boot from EFI[1].

Re: Installing elilo on MacMiniIntel fails
Hi,
$ chroot /target apt-get install refit
$ /target/sbin/gptsync /dev/sda
$ chroot /target
$ lilo /dev/sda3
(ignoring some warnings from lilo)
After this the installation continued fine, and I have no a running Debian
system.
If we can identify a way to discover if it's truely a MacIntel machine
we can make it transparent to end user ... let's see if we can do
that.
dmidecode tells you that it's:
Handle 0x0001, DMI type 1, 27 bytes
System Information
Manufacturer: Apple Computer, Inc.
Product Name: MacBook1,1
Version: 1.0
Serial Number: 4H6231PKU9D
UUID: 9CFE245E-D0C8-BD45-A79F-54EA5FBD3D97
Wake-up Type: Power Switch
SKU Number: System SKUNumber
Family: Napa Mac
Product Name should be enough.
Looking around at kernel patches, they seem to be checking for this also:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/16/18
+static struct dmi_system_id __initdata pci_mmcfg_dmi_system_apple[] = {
+ { pci_mmcfg_force_system, iMac4,1, {

+ DMI_MATCH(DMI_BIOS_VERSION,iMac4,1) }},
+ { pci_mmcfg_force_system, MacBookPro1,1, {
+ DMI_MATCH(DMI_BIOS_VENDOR,Apple Computer, Inc.),
+ DMI_MATCH(DMI_BIOS_VERSION,MacBookPro1,1) }},
+ { pci_mmcfg_force_system, MacBook1,1, {
+ DMI_MATCH(DMI_BIOS_VENDOR,Apple Computer, Inc.),
