Developments in the last year have rendered certain of the procedures on this page sub optimal. Ive tried to point these out, but I havent fully researched better replacements, and I lack the modern hardware on which to test some of the better methods on more recent 6. Macs. Thus, you may need to deviate from these instructions on modern computers. The Problem. When installing Ubuntu Linux on an Intel based Macintosh, most people. Internet, such as this. Ubuntu document. Most of these guides, however, rely on features of the. Macintosh that are intended to enable it to boot Windows. In particular. these guides typically end up creating a configuration that boots Linux. Compatibility Support Module CSM, which provides BIOS. Mac. In this mode, the Mac sets up a Basic Input Output. System BIOS layer that the OS can use, rather than rely on the Extensible. Firmware Interface EFI that OS X uses to run on the computer. BIOS. emulation is expedient, and its the only way that most versions of Windows. Mac, but its got several drawbacks Longer boot timesBIOS emulation is widely regarded as. Ive not tested this effect myself, so Im. Reduced graphics card flexibilityOn some models with. BIOS mode, but you can in EFI mode. My own Mac isnt one of the. I cant comment further on this issue. Use of a hybrid MBRIntel based Macs use the GUID Partition. Table GPT rather than the more common Master Boot. Record MBR partitioning system. Windows, however, cant boot from. GPT disks on BIOS based computers which it thinks a Mac is thanks to. Apples BIOS emulation. Therefore, Apple uses an ugly and dangerous. MBR, in. which a GPT data structure known as the protective MBR is. MBR disk to Windows. The trouble. is that hybrid MBRs frequently cause problems. In fact, even the Ubuntu. MBR, but depending on your partition layout, it can create a. As far as I can tell, BIOS emulation mode only works when a hybrid MBR. BIOS bootable optical disk is. Thus, you cant use BIOS emulation mode with. GPT disk unless you plan to use a bootable optical disc to. Linux. Ubuntu can use the BIOS emulation and hybrid MBR that enable Windows to. Macs, but it doesnt need to If you dont use these. Hybrid MBRs, in particular, are a. Bad Idea with a capital B and a capital I. Ive seen numerous problems. Ubuntu Forums related. Ubuntu installations on Macs with hybrid MBRs, and more problems with. See my hybrid MBR Web page. In short, they can get out of sync, cause confusion about which. Whenever I. think Ive heard of every possible problem with hybrid MBRs, I stumble. Youre better off without one, if thats. OS X and Linux but not. Windows. The trouble is that Ubuntu doesnt support installing to a Mac in EFI. Some sources claim that this now. I havent tested this claimindeed. I lack the hardware to do so The normal 6. PCs in. either BIOS mode or if the PC supports it UEFI mode UEFI being. EFI 2. x. These discs reportedly do not boot on Macs. I suspect they might with the help of r. EFIt or r. EFInd. The 3. 2 bit Ubuntu. EFI support. Ubuntu has also released 6. Macs. Ironically, these boot only in BIOS mode Therefore, to. MBR, youll need to jump through. An alternative to all of this is to run Ubuntu in a virtual. Virtual. Box. This can be a good solution in some cases, but it doesnt give Linux direct. Some Caveats. Although my opinion is that Intel based Macs are best booted using EFI. GPT with a protective MBR rather than a hybrid MBR, there are. These include No WindowsAs noted earlier, Windows relies heavily on. BIOS emulation to boot on a Mac therefore, if you want to triple boot. OS X, Linux, and Windows, youll need a hybrid MBR to boot Windows. You might, however, consider dual booting OS X and Linux and run. Windows in a virtual machine such as Virtual. Box. This will eliminate. BIOS emulation and hybrid MBRs. In theory, you could. MBR but still use EFI mode to boot Linux. Ive not tested this, and the benefits are greatly reduced since youve. MBR on your hard disk. Limited n. Vidia driver supportThe biggest caveat to. Linux in EFI mode on Macs is that some Linux video drivers. Vidia chipsets, dont work well when you boot in EFI. Thus, if youve got a Mac with an n. Vidia video chipset, youll. Vidia drivers. My own first generation Intel Mac Mini uses an Intel. Ive seen some suggestions. April of 2. 01. 2 than they. The UEFIBooting. page has some notes on specific Mac models video support when. EFI mode see the table under Tested Configurations about. Missing hardware featuresIve seen reports that Linux. Drop Down Menu Windows Forms. EFI. I dont use such features, so I. Virtual terminalsIve seen reports that text mode virtual. EFI boot however, this limitation doesnt. Perhaps it interacts with the video chipset. OS architecture limitationsOlder Intel based Macs, such. Mac Mini, use 3. 2 bit CPUs and EFIs. Newer models come with 6. CPUs and EFIs. If you try to run a 3. EFI. you may not have access to EFI Runtime Services. This can reportedly. Im a bit unclear about the details. In my. opinion, its best to stick with 6. BIOS based computers, so I dont see this as a big. If youre running Fedora, Cent. OS, Mandriva, Open. SUSE, Gentoo, Debian, or. Linux distributions, the procedure Im about to describe will. In fact, at one time or. Ive installed Ubuntu, Cent. OS, and Open. SUSE on my Mac Mini, all. EFI mode boots. Its possible that your preferred distribution.

This computer uses a 3. CPU and 3. 2 bit EFI, so Ive tested only. Ubuntu. Its possible that the 6. Macs. You can check which type of EFI youve got with the following.
