;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
