similar to: Xen on MacBook Pro

In case anyone else is trying to get Xen working on a MacBook Pro, I thought I would drop this note out here. The configuration is as follows... Hardware Overview (from System Profiler under OSX): Machine Model: MacBookPro2,2 Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo Process Speed: 2.16 GHz Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number of Cores:2 L2 Cache (per CPU): 4 MB

FYI, I just installed CentOS 5 beta with the SMP kernel in a VMWare fusion virtual machine on my 2.33 GHz 15 inch MacBook Pro. The installation was flawless. I installed from an NFS share on my network with the ISO images. The vm booted disc one and recognized my 802.11n wireless connection as eth0. The install took about 30 minutes. Everything worked fine... -Joe

Did anybody succeed in installing CentOS on a MacBook Pro with nVidia chipset (2010 edition, http://www.heise.de/mac-and-i/produkte/macbook-13-2-4-ghz-mitte-2010-86/#produkt_detail)? When I boot with the current minimal install disk, Linux does simply see non disks. Regards, Peter -- Peter Hopfgartner R3 GIS http://www.r3-gis.com

Hi, I am trying to read some files using read.csv and total size of those files are 3.99 GB. I am using MacBook Pro with 4GB RAM(snow leopard). I also tried to run a chunk from those files and altogether the size was 1.33 GB. But every time I was getting the following error R(1200) malloc: *** mmap(size=16777216) failed (error code=12) *** error: can't allocate region *** set a breakpoint in

Hi, Did anybody have success with running Syslinux on a MacBook Pro? I didn't manage, but I admittedly have no idea about UEFI. I've also heard that these machines deviate from the UEFI spec in some way... -- Thanks, Feri

Ok, I'm finally of a mindset to replace my now tired, aging Dell Inspiron 600m. I'm currently running Fedora Core on it, and am fairly happy with the software. Has anybody used CentOS on a Macbook Pro? What gotchas are there? (The first that comes to mind is the lack of a right mousebutton) Scouting on the Internet, I've seen that some people have trouble getting sound to work.

After a long, and quite disheartening, series of hardware problems with my HP laptop I decided to try out a Mac (late 2009 Intel based 19.5 inch). In the months since January past I have discovered this to be no significant improvement and I have grown tired of the persistent wireless connectivity problems and am totally put off by the upgrade to OSX-10.6.4 which killed HD graphics using Open-Gl.

Hi, Some time ago I installed CentOS 7 on an older MacBook Pro for a client, since she couldn't install a more recent version of Mac OS X on it. The installation was a bit of an adventure, and I wrote a little article about it: https://blog.microlinux.fr/centos-7-macbook-pro/ I made this installation about a year ago, and the only thing I changed since then is replacing Xfce by GNOME. I

I recently installed CentOS 5.2 64-bit on a partition on a MacBook Pro 17 inch. It installed just fine, but wired Ethernet is not available. lspci shows it as nVidia...unknown. Is it possible to get wired Ethernet running on this laptop under CentOS without having to create a virtual machine installation of CentOS? If so, what is the magic? Thanks. Scott

Hi...Frustrated!!

Hello, On my system (Linux 3.3, booting in EFI mode, using Nouveau with nouveau.noaccel=1 due to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27501 ), I can't figure out how to change the backlight or switch which of the two graphics cards (I have an Nvidia 9600M GT and a 9400M, both are recognized by nouveau but only the 9400M is ever used) Linux uses for the framebuffer or X uses for

I'm developing my own Linux-kernel OS (https://github.com/NodeOS/NodeOS) and I have been able to build a live ISO using IsoHybrid. Point is, it doesn't work on my MacBook Pro (Quad-core, 2.66GHz, 8GB), only on BIOS-based PCs. rEFInd show a new "Legacy OS" entry for the pendrive, but after some seconds it shows the "Not found Operating System -- Insert boot disk and press any
