Comment 9 for bug 158166

I tried EVERY possible combination I could think of to put OS X and Ubuntu 7.10 on the same disk (the internal disk on my intel mac mini), all to no avail.

Once you install OS X, Ubuntu / the linux kernel running on both 7.04 and 7.10 simply IGNORES any harddrive OS X has touched thereby killing your Ubuntu installation and/or your attempt to install Ubuntu.

I finally gave up and installed OS X on a separate USB harddrive and Ubuntu on the internal harddrive.... this works, that is when Ubuntu boots... as sometimes it simply won't boot, something I suspect is caused by... Ubuntu not detecting the harddrive.. w00h00! (although I have no way to tell... it simply stalls before booting the kernel heh).

The EFI stuff in Ubuntu needs some maintenance! Would be cool if someone could take a look at it :-)
