Mr. Ricky Campbell continues to inexplicably deny the validity of this
problem despite reports that the distribution in question is highly
unstable on certain hardware. This is indeed a valid claim against
Ubuntu Intrepid and should be assigned as such.

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.
