MacBook Persistent SoaS v5 and SoaS v6 EFI Boot USB
- Boots directly from the USB device NEW
- F15 Downlink: http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/spins/linux/releases/15/Spins/x86_64/Fedora-15-x86_64-Live-SoaS.iso
- F16 Downlink: http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/16.RC4/Spins/x86_64/Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-SoaS.iso
- Latest F16-RC4 and RC5 have the updated kernel and boot an EFI USB device directly on a MacBookPro i7 (11/03/2011)
- I just successfully made a f16 RC4 EFI Boot USB in VirtualBox on My Macbook Pro i7......nice ; used x86-64 live Desktop and liveinst then installed additions (for USB Access)
- Download of Live-desktop for Virtualbox:http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/16.RC4/Live/x86_64/Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso
- VirtualBox Downloads: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/virtualbox/downloads/index.html including additions
- My Smolt Mac Profile:http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_3947102b-ca8d-49f6-9a2d-d1ab91b74448
- Chat works just had chat with mulawa1 on USB on Mac
- Note: EFI USB does NOT boot on MacBook Air. trying to figure out why
Is that an original MacBook Air? According to this page it does not boot EFI in 64 bits: Bert:
- List of Macs that boot in EFI: http://www.everymac.com/mac-answers/snow-leopard-mac-os-x-faq/mac-os-x-snow-leopard-64-bit-macs-64-bit-efi-boot-in-64-bit-mode.html
- Possible Fix: tested with grub2-efi, and then I can boot Air with xdriver=vesa nomodeset
- Fix for EFI in v6? :::http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2011-October/104146.html
- Kernel upgrade to fix this: http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/kernel/3.1.0/7.fc16/x86_64/kernel-3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64.rpm is in RC4
- Look at Further adventures in EFI booting: http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/4957.html
- WORKS WITH SoaS v5 Coconut and SoaS v6 Pineapple
- Only works with wired cat5 connection (May work with Wireless-not tested)
<===click on image to enlarge- To Boot Hold "Option" Key when starting Mac. Hold key until EFI USB Icon Appears then select it right arrow ===> (EFI)
- KEY: (x)= device name
- Use the
sudo blkidcommand in a terminal to see the USB and other device names for discs attached to the system.- ie: /dev/sdb; /dev/sdc; /dev/sdd.... IMPORTANT very dangerous if you use the wrong one
Run "yum install livecd-tools" so it installs all the required
dependencies and then use livecd-iso-to-disk

- Boots Fine
Install to HD (liveinst)
F16 disk utility
format HD format partion ext4
- Discovered that using gparted to format the HD partition on Ubuntu causes liveinst failure as it cannot see the 1 MiB first partition.
- NOR can the installer
