There's one graphics output (hdmi) unless you count the thunderbolt(?) connector There's one graphics card, an Intel HD3000: lspci 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0116] (rev 09 Xorg.0.log [ 17.023] (II) intel(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) Sandybridge Mobile (GT2) > >>>> USB problem is on Linux side. > >>> > >>> A combination of rEFIt/grub classic on the 4th (ext3) partition > >>> boots the > >> same vmlinuz/initrd without problems. > >> > >> You probably boot in BIOS mode with GRUB Legacy which results in > >> completely different hardware init and presence of BIOS tables in > >> 0xa0000-0x100000 range.

So we're saying that I cannot boot the mac mini into linux using grub2-efi/linux-3.0.21 as things stand today? _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
