In step 10, the EFI console did *not* automatically offer to update the MBR; it just gave me a shell prompt. So I typed "gptsync" to update the MBR. Then I tried booting Ubuntu, but it hung. I then performed the black magic of powering off and on. Now everything works fine and I can boot either OS!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376417828574391409.post-627905496916055522008-11-01T10:30:00.000-04:002008-11-01T10:30:00.000-04:00This does not apper to work right with Ubuntu 8.10...This does not apper to work right with Ubuntu 8.10, Any thoughts or help would be appreciatedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376417828574391409.post-34290269235099209402008-10-14T04:09:00.000-04:002008-10-14T04:09:00.000-04:00I had to do the black magic (yanking the power cor...I had to do the black magic (yanking the power cord) at two spots. The first was after installing refit. The 2nd was after letting refit change the MBR. After that everything worked and ubuntu booted.

I followed all your steps till this one...Hey there. I followed all your steps till this one:<BR/>8. Start installing Ubuntu. Choose manual partitioning, delete the big FAT32 partition that Boot Camp created (leave the EFI partition alone though), and create the root and swap partitions in the free space.<BR/><BR/>I deleted the big windows partition but what do you mean by vreate the root and swap partitions in the free space? I hit the new partition from the free space and I have a few options like:<BR/><BR/>Location for the new partition(Begining or End)<BR/>Use as (Exr3 journaling file system, etc..)<BR/>Mount Point (/ , /boot , /home, / tmp, /usr , /var , /srv , /opt , /usr/local )<BR/><BR/>Im really confused by this step.<BR/><BR/>Thanks =)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08598939726305826055noreply@blogger.com
