Thanks for your bug report.  The wiki at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro3-1/Intrepid indicates
others have had success installing Intrepid so I'm unsure why your
installation went so wrong.

Do you think you've hit the MBR bug documented on the wiki at at bug
222126?

Bug description:
Please amend the wiki; this release is absolutely inappropriate for installation from LiveCD on a Macbook Pro 3,1 Santa Rosa.

Loved Hardy for some months. Upgrade from Hardy seemed reasonably stable. Formatted hard drive and decided to go dual-boot with Mac OS 10.5.x (previously single-booting Hardy) and encountered innumerable errors during install. Crashed upon reboot. Hundreds of lines of errors scrolled by.

Previously attempted this over a month ago and tried again today with a freshly downloaded and burned LiveCD -- same effect.

Please, PLEASE amend the wiki or otherwise warn owners of this particular MacBook Pro model against attempting install off LiveCD. I have found it all terribly misleading.
