Stay blocked on stage 2 message
I have no idea what that means. You're going to have to give us more information.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 215091 ***
please do unmark this as duplicate, as far I can tell, it is not!! I have the same problem here with my MacBookPro, 2008.0beta1 for AMD64. I think it is grub-related. Grub boots up in stages, and hangs at the second it says "stage2". So you can't even see the grub-menu nor give boot options! Inside a virtual machine this boot-cd boots up nicely (inside a 32bit machine it gives you the grub menu and than hangs because the kernel is for 64 bit machines! I just did that to make sure IT IS a 64bit kernel!) So as far as I can tell, there is a booting-issue with grub on that 64-bit-minimal install cd with MacBooks. And it is not a duplicate of another Bug I have seen around here! Thanks for any help, you Guys ROCK!
I've the same problem with a macbook too, my configuration of macbook is a intel C2D 2.4 GHz (penryn) with graphic card intel X3100, etc.
Reopening now that we have enough information to determine that the problem isn't the same.
Do you have BootCamp installed?
I sure do, since I have windows installed, too!
Addition: but as far as I understand, it is not necessary to have bootcamp installed at all, since the BIOS-Emulation grub needs comes with a firmware-update and not with bootcamp. Bootcamp just sets up a MBR-PartitionTable parallel to the EFI-PartitionTable used by MacOSX. The only problem I see related to this booting problem is the one with EFI emulating a bios, right? windows XP is up and running, so I guess everything should be there, since 2007.0 booted without problem, too!
I used rEFIt for the Boot.
OK, we've updated both grub and the kernel for 2008.0 Beta 2. If you guys could test it when it comes out in the next few days, we'd really appreciate it.
I will test it :-) I am so eager to get gentoo on my mac... missed gentoo so much the past 1,5 years :-( (In reply to comment #10) > OK, we've updated both grub and the kernel for 2008.0 Beta 2. If you guys > could test it when it comes out in the next few days, we'd really appreciate > it. >

>> If you guys could test it when it comes out in the next few days ^^that should answer it I guess? ;-)
Sorry, I just didn't read the full sentence :-P I'm too impatient to test this beta 2!!! :-D
I just tried booting from the new Beta2. Glad to report, that it boots up nicely on my MacBookPro and I have my expected internet-enabled install-environment for gentoo. So I guess, this one is closed? ;-) Thank you, you guys are awesome!
Cool. We won't actually RESOLVED-FIXED this bug until we get 2008.0 final out, but I'm glad to hear that it's working for you.
Cool the Beta 2 boot on my MacBook But I don't have the network. May be because the wireless component it's an Broadcom BCM4328 If you integrated ndiswrapper on the livecd should be fine. Good job :)
This should be fixed in 2008.0, which is now released.
