[Bug 1197451] Re: Ubuntu fails to properly boot on Macbook Air 2013 6, 1 & 6, 2
Hi Xavier,
My recommendation is to resolve the kernel.org bug as won't fix and
update the Ubuntu MacBook Air wiki on
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookAir with details linking to use
of UEFI install.
The Mac does not require secure boot. There is no loss of
functionality. You will need to use rEFInd, and follow the instructions
for EFI boot. Since you are already dual booting you should be able to
boot into MacOS, this time reinstall rEFInd for EFI booting. Make your
EFI based Ubuntu USB image and reinstall Ubuntu.

Bug description:
Ubuntu fails to properly boot on Macbook Air 2013 6,1
Ubuntu fails to boot the 13.10 live image from usb without specifying
acpi-off as a boot parameter.
After installation is complete the boot process hangs at a purple
screen. Booting into recovery mode shows that the process stops at the
following:
smpboot: Booting Node 0, #1
I've tried 12.04.2, 13.04, and 13.10. I've also tried booting with
kernel ver 3.9.8-030908-generic and the result is the same.
