Hello everybody,

maybe there is someone who can give a hint to a newbie.

I'm trying to install Ubuntu or Kubuntu on a MacBook (Model 5,2 - Intel Core 2 Duo, 2,13 Ghz) and I fail.

I have loaded down the CD image and burned it on a CD. I've chosen the 64-bit version. When I start the MacBook from CD I get the starting screen, asking me to choose a language. I set the language to german and whatever option I choose afterwards e.g. "start from disk to leave the computer unchanged" or "install ubuntu" the cd-drive runs for about a minute, then it slows down and a little later it stops completely ... nothing happens anymore.

To make things worse, I regularly have trouble to restart the MacBook under OSX after trying to start or install Ubuntu.

MacOS recognizes the CD as a "Windows CD" in the systems setting "Start Volume"

Any idea what I could do to get Ubuntu installed on this MacBook ?

Greetings from Berlin/Germany
Thomas

After you boot to the CD and select your language, you have to press F6 and turn off ACPI.Apple Computer, It just works

Also, try to burn the ISO image on DVD instead of CD.
