OK, the Linux bug was apparently fixed fixed in 2.6.27-8 or so. The
current kernel in use by Intrepid is 2.6.27-11, so this should be a non-
issue.

unfortunately, You are the only on that seems to be complaining of he
issues you are having, and the likelihood that this issue has simply
been "ignored" by other MacBookPro3,1 users is quite low. If you can
present some technical information from you experience that might
indicate where the issue lies, or reference some other bug that
resembles your own, this cannot be fixed.

I am sorry that you had such a terrible experience with Intrepid,
hopefully this issue can be resolved for future releases. For now, I am
marking it as invalid against Ubuntu since the bug you referenced has
already been addressed.

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.
