Re: [Mactel-linux-users] Re:Booting kernel on Macbook Pro ok, problems mounting hard disk

[Ryan N. <ne...@mi...>]

Yes, with this trick I was able to hack something together that lets  
me run linux satisfactorily.  (I actually needed this, because the  
compiler I'm using for my work doesn't support Mac/i386 yet.)

But I still have to boot of the live CD and then chroot or do some  
other nasty trick.  The reason being that this /dev/dm/<n> solution  
doesn't seem to work for me when booting off the internal rather than  
the live CD.  I thought it was the same kernel, but I can't get root=/ 
dev/dm/2 in elilo.conf to work.

Oh well, good enough for now until someone makes a more complete  
release for this platform.
