@elcste Per https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/announcing-6-17-kernel-for-
ubuntu-25-10-questing-quokka/61484 Questing is slated to use the 6.17
kernel, but https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/ is still using the
6-14.0-15 kernel (which doesn't have the fix for MacBook SPI keyboards
and trackpads).  Not sure when the Questing ISO builds will shift to the
upstream 6.17 release candidate, but I'm planning to try booting it from
live images before the release.

Title:
  Plucky fails to boot on (older) Macs

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in linux source package in Plucky:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  MacBookAir7,1 (i5-5250U)
  MacBookPro12,1 (i5-5287U)
  iMac14,1 (i5-4570R)

  With three older Macs I am trying Plucky versions from the past two
  weeks or so fail to boot.

  The built-in displays stay blank but the backlight is visible until I
  force the computers to power off. External video doesn't show
  anything.

  I have tried both installed (more below) and live images. With the
  live image the GRUB menu with "Try or install" does show up.

  All three do boot normally to 24.10 live images. The iMac has 24.10
  installed which also boots fine.

  The two MacBooks have Plucky installed, one upgraded from an earlier
  version and one installed several weeks ago. Plucky booted fine until
  around 2025-03-16 when this boot issue started, both with the
  installed version and the live image. I know this because it caused me
  to set these aside until now when I had a chance to look closer and
  find a non-Mac computer that I installed on that date.

  [Test Case]

  Boot on above mentioned Macs.

  [Fix]

  Enable efi hack only on arm64.

  [Where Problems Could Occur]

  Non-arm64 machines that need this fix (highly unlikely) might not
  boot.
