I agree with the above posters. This is a _very_ serious bug that kills MacBooks. This needs to be listed in the release notes.
Mine is still dead. It will not boot. I've installed OS X on an external USB drive but bless doesn't seem to work from there. sudo bless -mount / -firmware MBP53_00AC_03B_LOCKED.scap WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss or the deletion of important system files. Please double-check your typing when using sudo. Type "man sudo" for more information. To proceed, enter your password, or type Ctrl-C to abort. Password: Error while writing to /Volumes/bless.gS66//EFI/APPLE/FIRMWARE/MBP53_00AC_03B_LOCKED.scap: No space left on device -1 bytes written Could not create /Volumes/bless.gS66//EFI/APPLE/FIRMWARE/MBP53_00AC_03B_LOCKED.scap Error while writing firmware updater for EFI I tried making a firmware recovery CD. That hasn't worked for me either. After I get my MacBook back, I will seriously consider giving up on Linux. This hassle is not worth it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/774089 Title: Booting fails 3 times, works every fourth time after new install of Natty Narwhal amd64 on Macbook Pro -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
