Hello all, I'd like to get in on the conversation. I have a macbook 2,1 (mid 2007) triple booting snow leopard, XP and natty and I've been dealing with the same problem for months now. I'm stunned to find out it might be related to the linux installation, I just assumed it's hardware and I was going to give up soon and let apple replace the logic board.
Has anybody else seen this- the longer I've put up with it, the worse the symptom gets? Originally it took me a few tries on a cold boot, then after a while it would take 10 tries, now it always takes me 20-30 tries. I really hope this isn't a sign that I've been causing some sort of damage. I've continued to use the computer every day because I haven't had much of a choice. I'm going to look into trying this efi flash firmware update. My current version is MB21.00A5.B07, which seems to be the latest according to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237, so I'm not sure if there's anything I can do...? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/774089 Title: Booting fails 3 times, works every fourth time after new install of Natty Narwhal amd64 on Macbook Pro To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/efibootmgr/+bug/774089/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
