You want to assign the bug to me? Fine.

1. I am removing the confirmed status since, nobody has confirmed
anything.

2. Your issue about the community documentation wiki is not valid for
the Ubuntu project. It is not official Ubuntu documentation, and thus
cannot be attributed to the Ubuntu project.

3.You did provide a link to an existing bug in Linux, and they have
reported back that it was fixed. If that bug was truly your problem,
then this bug can be closed because the problem is fixed (and has been
fixed). Obviously, you still feel that there is a problem, so I am
guessing that bug had nothing to do with your problem.

4. Unless you provide any supporting information about this bug and what
software it might even effect, this bug is invalid. So far you have not
given anything that can enable anyone to fix anything. Until you do so,
I am marking the bug as invalid. When you have supporting data to
contribute, you can reopen the bug.

I hope that you can provide some information that will help us fix the
issue you are having.

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.
