 I had an old friend call who had his MBR fail so he couldn't boot.
 He had no MS floppy and no CD/DVD media for MS to use the
 Recovery option.  Here is how I fixed it for him.  He is in Indiana.

 I had him come up on Ubuntu 10.04 Live CD.
 I then had him install teamviewer which gave me remote access to his
 machine even though it was a Live CD.   Teamviewer installed into ram.

 I then had him use Applications - Ubuntu Software Center and download
 a program called mbr.    I read the destructions and then typed:
 install-mbr /dev/sda

 and he rebooted and everything worked again.

Re: [Ubuntu-US-CA] Ubuntu 10.10 fails to boot on Intel Macs

[Adrian Petrescu]

For what its worth, I've been booting 10.10 on a MacBook Pro 1,1 for
days now, so I don't think its something inherent to all Intel Macs.

Cheers,
Adrian

 Has anyone else been bitten by the bug described below? My Maverick 
 experience has been frustrating so far on Intel Macs. I think a combination 
 of this bug and an ABI change in grub2 has prevented me from booting in 
 several different circumstances.

 Hi.
 I'd like to point you to a serious bug that seems to affect all Intel
 based Macs.
 https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/633983
 Ubuntu 10.10 beta fails to boot on Intel Macs.
 The Mac will hang right after Boot Camp/rEFIt with a black screen showing:
 -
 1.

 2.

 Select CD-ROM Boot Type :
 -

 This looks like an issue with the new release of Syslinux 4.x series,
 which has trouble working with Apple EFI implementation.
 I'd like to ask other owners of Intel based Macs and Macbooks to test
 the latest daily live ISO on their hardware.
 Regards,
