I have a March 2009 version of the Mac Mini. I've been a happy customer of 10.04 64 desktop. Today I tried booting ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64 live CD, holding down the <option> key while powering up. The choose-OS screen shows two options for the CD, one labeled 'Windows' and the other EFI. If I select the EFI choice and further choose to launch the live CD instead of install or check disk, then I get exactly what satmandu wrote on 2010-09-27 above. But the alternate 'Windows' choice seems to work fine.

So what was the 'fix' that Robbie Williamson mentioned on 2010-10-09? I'm guessing the inclusion of the second choice that appears labeled 'Windows' (which was the only choice available with the 10.04 live CD). And where might I go online to follow the progress of mac EFI support?
