First, let's briefly talk about the problems in installing Fedora14Linux on MacBookPro. 1. GPT partition. Most Linux systems already support 2. EFI boot. Fedora supports EFI and GURB2. However, install refit for convenience. 3. hardware drivers: video card, sound card, and wireless NIC Driver. The following is my own installation process: 1. now use the diskutil partition of mac, and then start the installation with a CD. Otherwise, the installation will be performed in the form of basic graphics or text.
First, let's talk about the problems with the installation of Fedora 14 Linux on MacBook Pro.
1. GPT partition. Most Linux instances are supported.
2. EFI boot. Fedora supports EFI and GURB2. However, install refit for convenience.
3. hardware drivers: video card, sound card, and wireless NIC Driver.
The installation process is as follows:
1. the disk util of the mac is used for partitioning, and then the installation is started with a CD. The basic image or text format is used. Otherwise, the white screen will appear. In addition, you need to install the appropriate program to the boot disk.
2. Install the driver directly from the official website. You must install the driver on a non-graphic interface.
3 broadcom bcm4322 wireless network card needs to manually compile and replace the original ssb and b34.
4. The sound card driver needs to be downloaded and compiled on the realtek official website. However, due to kernel version problems, there is a redefined function, which can be commented out directly.
