Thread: MacBook Pro 8,1 Late 2011 + Ubuntu 11.10 - can't boot OSX Lion

-

hi,

post little long-winded because i'm totally new apple world , want list out every detail of problem, not knowing started go downhill.

got macbook pro 8,1 late 2011. first apple product. came osx lion , decided install ubuntu 11.10 thinking easy installing on pc. was. except osx wouldn't boot.

reading through forum posts superficially, created single fat partition of 20gigs using disk utility under osx. installed refit. rebooted , refit showed on second reboot. plugged in ubuntu 11.10 x86-64 usb stick , booted live session refit menu. using gparted, deleted 20gigs fat partition make free space - think first mistake, after reading on hybrid mbrs.

launched installer , created 2gig swap , 18gig / ext4 partition free space. choose / ext4 boot loader install partition suggested in posts , completed installing.

on reboot, refit did not show up. instead, grub did , listed usual ubuntu, recovery , memtest options, along osx 32bit , osx 64bit. able boot ubuntu fine, no issues. however, neither of osx options boot. 32bit option show me blank screen long time , 64bit option show blank screen front white led on base blinking , beeping in sets of 3 continually. (mac forums ram problem?? ubuntu thinks ram fine!)

lion internet recovery, formatted whole disk, , got osx resurrected. there proven osx-lion-non-destructive way of installing ubuntu 11.10 x86-64 on macbook pro 8,1? have googled have seen many different tutorials i'm not sure 1 follow, not want download 4gigs recover lion again.

reading far!

did read community documentation ubuntu on mac?

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/macbook

if not sure how install or don't want risk system, may option install ubuntu within virtual machine such virtualbox.
