Archived thread 1001448 from Apple Hardware Users. Markdown source: Apple_Hardware_Users/thread_1001448_i_installed_ubuntu_onto_my_mac_it_wont_boot.md
on a ubuntu install normally grub gets installed to (this is a boot manager!) - so everything SHOULD work.
pls be more specific ;)
Check out this article for dual-booting: Dual-Booting As the help article states, your best bootloader/EFI selector is rEFIt. It's what I use, and it works well.

What exactly does it do? Try rEFIt first and see if it works then, but you likely need to follow the steps here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=767677

You need to reinstall the grub bootloader, as explained in the link that Cyberdork33 gave you.

you should start a new airport wireless thread if you need help with that, it depends what mac you have, but first you should read what is in the Sticky Thread at to top of this forum, it should be explained in there somewhere. Please mark this thread [SOLVED]
