-

hi,

have been trying ubuntu installed on macbook pro on week no success.

distro: ubuntu 64-bit 10.04 lts
hardware: macbook pro 5,4 firmware 1.8

have tried methods find googling. trying single os install, is, ubuntu , no osx.

have tried 2 methods:
1. wipe disk, install refit on 200mb partition , install linux on rest of disk. install, boot refit , select linux. grub loads , system hangs @ "uncompression error - system halted". machine boots fine livecd hardware issues not suspect. refit sync fails message saying "analysis inconclusive, not touch disk"

2. wipe disk , install linux on entire disk (sda1 root , sda2 swap). results in same "uncompression error".

tried install fedora , got same "uncompression error" after finishing install , rebooting.

appreciate pointers or howto has done single os install on mbp?
