Title:
  Intrepid MacBook Pro 3,1 "Santa Rosa" LiveCD Disaster

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Fix Released
Status in Mactel Support:
  Invalid
Status in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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.
