I've got Ubuntu 10.10 (2.6.35-23-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP) booting using my old grub 1.97 (that was booting Ubuntu 9.04) compiled as so:
./configure --with-platform=efi --target=x86_64 make ./grub-mkimage -d . -o grub.efi acpi boot chain configfile ext2 fat hfsplus normal part_gpt sh Then my grub.cfg has menuentry "linux latest" { root=(hd0,3) fakebios linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 video=efifb agp=off acpi=force initrd /initrd.img } I've got 2 CPUs, ACPI (sleep, reboot, poweroff, battery/power) - my next step will be to try a newer version of grub2. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341230 Title: Booting linux crashes on 2009 White Macbook (hardware version ID "MacBook5,2") unless you use acpi=off or maxcpus=1 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
