The issue remains with the oneiric daily ISOs from 2011-07-19 (post-alpha 2)

I am trying to boot a MacBookPro 6,2

In each case I used usb-creator-gtk 0.2.30 on a host system (amd64) also running Oneiric dev branch (up-to-date as of 2011-07-20)

I tried
oneiric-desktop-amd64+mac.iso
oneiric-alternate-amd64+mac.iso
oneiric-desktop-amd64.iso

In the last case case, the system boots, but because it's the wrong hardware (amd64 image on amd64+mac hardware), the display ultimately freezes (the desktop login sound is played, but the boot splash never disappears). The boot process appears to work up to that point. It seems to simply not able to switch the video mode.

I also tried creating the USB stick from the MacBookPro itself (also running Oneiric dev branch and up-to-date). There was no difference.
