Installing Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 4 on a MacBook Pro rev. 3, you still have
to wait more than 30 seconds until GRUB starts booting. Does this issue
have something to do with this bug?

Colin, Matthew: I'd like to draw your attention to my comment here, as
the GPT sync patch prevents me from installing on systems with drives
greater than 2 TB:

grub install fails on EFI Intel Macs
The parted gptsync patch breaks gpt partitions support on x86 / x86_64. Because
there is normal mbr table gpt partitions are completely ignored and mbr only is
used instead. This breaks gpt for more than 4 partitions or when disk size is
above 2TB.
Most likely related:
This is all now in Ubiquity as of version 1.3.25 in Feisty, which
incorporates code to make best use of Matthew's patch. Earlier versions
would work OK under some circumstances via gptsync, but I think
everything's in now.
The main fix not yet mentioned in this bug was:

The attached patch adds gpt/mbr synchronisation to parted. It's limited
to supporting 4 partitions right now, one of which is the EFI system
partition, so it's not ideal - however, it should at least allow the
system to be installable.
** Attachment added: GPT/MBR synchronisation

I noticed the Debian refit package is now in feisty's Universe
repository. Integrating it into ubiquity shouldn't be too hard. After
ubiquity has finished modyfing the partition scheme, all it needs to
do is sync the MBR to the GPT by calling gptsync on the drive. It's
also important to make sure
Actually, I haven't been able to get the MacBook instructions to work on
a Intel-based MiniMac. After trying a number of install attempts over
several hours, Grub still failed to install properly. I eventually told
the potential Ubuntite to give Fedora 6 a go, which smmes to explicitly
support the
Any progress for feisty?
Can ubiquity be modified to detect the need to sync the MBR to the GPT?

As of Edgy and the latest Apple firmware upgrades and Bootcamp updates,
there's only one problem left which causes the GRUB installation to
fail:
Gparted, which is integrated into Ubiquity, doesn't sync MBR and GPT
partition schemes after partitioning. At the beginning of the
installation
Sebastien: If you boot OSX and switch to a standard PC mbr (they call it
something like that) via the disk-utility, you might avoid this problem.
Grub worked fine on my single-boot setup after making this change.

now.
