;9-) Clips from #fedora-qa 04/04/2011 MacPro and f15 Boot
 +
I have a macbook pro and have run fedora 14 on it with great success. 15 alpha, on the other hand, is not going well. The installation comes saying something about "installing  *** on EFI ***"
 +
which i just dismiss/ignore, but when i try to boot after installation has completed, it wont. Just saying something like "no file found". Should i do something
 +
special to install 15 alpha on a EFI system?
 +
Yeah... you may have to run gptsync (I think that's what it's called)
 +
no, you don't need to install again, but you will need to gain access to the installed partitions from another system (whether it's a Fedora live image)
 +
referring to the gptsync that is provided be rEFIt
 +
I formatted the partition to make space for a working distro. i have refit installed and my mbp boots to that at startup by default. that didnt make 15 alpha work. 14 did though
 +
you may need to enter the boot partition tool from the rEFIt menu and when it asks to run gptsync, say yes
 +
  okay. I will try to install again later and do that. Thank you so far. Will get back to you guys
 +
I belive anytime partitioning changes occur on a macbook, you do need to run gptsync.  Since the EFI implementation by apple isn't fully compliant with the standard, extra  steps  are required
 +
you don't need to reinstall ... just run gptsync from the rEFIt menu
 +
just need to get your partitions synced up
