</div>I don't know if the EFI stuff is missing... Perhaps that's not the<br>
problem? What kind of video/graphics does your macbook use?<br>
<br>
It's possible that the video drivers I have 'blacklisted' stop your mac<br>
from producing any usable console. I have an old (2005) Mac iBook G4<br>
that seems only to produce a usable set of virtual terminals<br>
(Ctrl-Alt-[F1-F6] while gdm is running, for example. By then the video<br>
drivers (radeon in my case) are loaded, of course.<br>
<br>
What happens if you change the boot line from vga=791 to vga=ask?<br>
I'm assuming that you at least get the isolinux boot screen - you did<br>
not mention whether you see anything at all on boot, but if the initial<br>
boot screen appears, you should be able to access the boot line from F6<br>
on that screen and edit it as above, in the same way suggested in my<br>
reply to 'Yorvyk'.<br>
<br>
Actually he might also want to try 'vga=ask'. Don't select a 32 bit<br>
option if vga=ask shows one though, since mplayer and directfb can't<br>
seem to handle that colour depth.<br>
<br>
It appears that vga=791 is 'card specific' (thank you Google!).<br>
<br>
The above is worth a try. To be frank, I know nothing about EFI so I<br>
might need some help if that does turn out to be the problem...<br>
