Perhaps you have misunderstood: the machine fails to boot, not because of a kernel problem or a bootloader problem, but because the BIOS fails to find the bootloader in the first place! As mentioned in the bug report, gutsy installed fine, and upgraded perfectly to hardy. This shows that there is no problem with hardy's kernel or bootloader. It seems clear to me that there is something wrong with installation of grub in 8.04. In the "advanced" section of the installer you can see where it intends to install grub. I did take a peek and both gutsy and hardy were installing it to the same place (if I recall correctly, to (hd0) ). Note that the macpro has an unusual BIOS (EFI) and partition layout (GPT). Anyway, I will attach some info about the machine to the bug report. -- hardy rc install fails to boot on macbook pro https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220219 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
