I'm only posting this because I've already searched this database and tried everything that I could find and nothing worked. The mac is from 2009, I've even tried installing ubuntu into virtual box and used dd to copy it to the flash drive, also made a backup image via dd of the virtual machine and tried restoring it to my second partition and neither of the two options have worked. And when I boot and select my flash drive to boot from that's when the screen flashes like any normal boot and throws the error. I do have refit, or actually refind which is a continuation of refit because refit isn't maintained anymore. so unfortunatly I can't even completely format a new copy of mac without downloading an image from the internet and copying it to a pen drive also. It doesn't accept any types of cds besides blanks.
Install linux on a mac partition install#
I'm currently trying to install windows 7 into VirtualBox to start trying from windows, so I'll respond when I do, but why has every attempt of mine failed after checking and rechecking to make sure I do it right, made sure I was dd to the disk and not the partition. I've now been trying for three weeks and and I have downloaded each Ubuntu many times and checked everyone of then and even installed them in VirtualBox. The problem when you perform a Kali installation on a USB stick is that Kali partitions the disk with the VFAT file system. This is not intended to perform a Live Kali installation with persistence. I only have the mac option for now so I'm not able to make a bootable USB on windows and every time I try to boot it says isolinux.bin missing or corrupted (except with the other program i don't recall what that error was, it was an early attempt.) This tutorial is for everyone who wants a USB stick with a full Kali installation to use with your Mac(s). I've been trying to install Ubuntu 12.04, 13.04 and 13.10 onto my mac mini using every tutorial I could find using dd or even a program similar to UNetbootin for mac, and nothing seems to be working.
