[Bug 500822] Re: /init: line 7: can't open /dev/sr0: No medium found

2016-04-01 Thread Sean Leavey
Hi all,

I've got a fix for the iMac 2009 I tried to install Ubuntu on. I had the
same problem and the boot config fix didn't work. The instructions from
Ian Allen (comment 19) did not work initially - I got to the initramfs
prompt and waited for the usb device to show up with the ls -l /dev/sd*
command. Unplugging the USB and reinserting didn't work either, but I
did see the message "rejected 1 configuration due to insufficient
available bus power" when I pugged it in. It turns out there was not
enough power to run the USB drive on the iMac keyboard I had it plugged
into. Plugging the USB drive into the back, the device registered as a
/dev/sdb device and I was able to run the Ubuntu installer.

In fact, the installer works without the grub configuration hack if I
just use a USB port with enough power! Just selecting the boot device
from the rEFInd menu worked with the other USB port.
