Live CD failed to run on MacBook, now MacBook won't boot

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I burned a Fedora 11 Live CD i686, and tried to boot from it on my MacBook. The first couple of times, it would get to the boot options(?) screen. When I selected "Boot", there was a message saying something like "Not accessible"; basically it would hang. After a couple of failed attempts, I tried to boot back into my MacBook, but now I can't even access that! The apple logo shows, but then a minute or two later, a "no" symbol (circle with slash) shows and doesn't do anything else. Can anyone help me? (HowTos)

Stories similar to Live CD failed to run on MacBook, now MacBook won't boot

Hi, somehow I am too stupid to run a live Linux on a Macbook air. I used both, an openSUSE 11.3-KDE Live-CD and a Live-USB key and tried several boot options. (i) I held down "C" to boot from CD → didn't work. It's an Apple CD drive but came with an older Macbook air a few years ago.

Hi, i'm having problems to install F12 on my Macbook 5,2. In the better situation I started the F12 one time after installation, and nevermore.

In my last attempt, I follow it:

>First I installed MAC OSX snow leopard, with 2 partitions in HD; >Installed rEFIt and following the tutorial that I found on WEB, I copied rEFIt to EFI hidden partition;

Dual Boot F17 on MacBook 46 weeks 4 days ago

Hi

I run a Dual Boot with Win 7 on my Lenovo laptop, which i recently swapped for a MacBook pro, I want to dual boot the Mac with Fedora 17 - I read an article on a few fixes that were done to support booting MacBooks,

This is a late 2011 MacBook - Intel Core i7, AMD Radeon Graphics

Is dual boot possible?

Hi!

After installing the openSUSE 11.3(GRUB/LILO) to my Triple Boot iMac, I cannot boot into Win 7 or openSUSE 11.3 with the boot loader rEFIt.

I clicked on the selection, and an error message shows "no bootable device".

I have to INSEART THE OPENSUSE 11.3 MEDIA, TO MAKE MY IMAC BOOT INTO WIN 7 OR OPENSUSE.

I've recently come by an old Macbook Pro which i want to change to run Ubuntu. First of, I'll start by saying the CD-drive does not work so I have been trying to boot it off of a USB. It has not worked though. I followed the guide on this page: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/...ick-on-mac-osx. This mac runs version 10.4.11 of Mac OS X an is 3,1 model type.

hi, I've a macbookpro3,1 and my target is tripleboot osx10.6 + apodio5.08 (hardy 8.04 i386) + xp. I know there are many guides but nothing seems work properly on my mac, and hardy 8.04 i386 seems no good for macbook-pro3,1 (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook). so my questions are:

No Bootable Files Found 2 years 43 weeks ago

Hi,

Fedora 17 boot problems 41 weeks 6 days ago

I'm trying to dual-boot Fedora 17 and Windows XP. I installed Fedora from the live-cd with no problem onto a second hard drive, and put GRUB2 on the first drive so it's the boot loader.

When I try to boot Fedora I get a "Cannot open file font True" message and it stops booting. I looked around and found that the error should only delay the booting, and found how to fix it.
