Hi,
I have an Intel Mac mini and I try to install Linux (Kubuntu) onto it. I used instructions found here http://sowerbutts.com/linux-mac-mini/ . Bootcamp installs fine, partitioning goes well, rEFIt installs and boots, but then when it is supposed to start the alien boot cd the machine tilts. Just "no signal" on the LCD and I have to powerdown with 5sec power button press.
I tried six different linux liveCD/installCD:s, burned either with my Mini (diskutils) or my laptop (k3b in KDE), in slow (x4) up to fast (x24) speed, verified all of them by booting succesfully on a PC computer. All this I tried with the three booting methods: rEFIt, <c> and <option>.
Weird thing is that apple's own OSX boot disc works just fine, it gives a correct name for the disc on the boot menu and boots. All other discs are just named "windows"
I thank for any kind of help in advance.
