Many hours and now days have passed in my quest to install Linux (of ANY kind) on my Macbook Pro 3,1. I have been led to your door but have yet to make anything work.
I have been trying to install ANY of the versions from your grub.cfg file only to have each of them hang and stop installation.
I tried using Linux Mint with the MAC USB Loader from SevenBits but continue to get stuck and the Grub prompt each time.
It does concern me that these posts all seem to stem from at least four years ago so I do fear that there is an easier way to get this done but I have yet to stumble upon it.
So my question is this: what do you suggest will be the best way to install ANY kind of Linux on my MacBook Pro 3,1?
