Archived thread 2263398 from Mac OSX. Markdown source: Mac_OSX/thread_2263398_MacBook_Pro_Retina_EFI_Boot.md
So I have followed every guide online that I've found and I can't get EFI boot to work. The only os on this Macbook is Ubuntu. It's a completey wiped / clean drive so I have no other OS on there.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? My problem is I install Ubuntu, install efibootmgr and then when I reboot, it finally boots and hits a black screen and just stays there.
Anyway help is appreciated!
Moved to Apple sub-forum where those users may know more.
Sound more like a video issue, but do not know what video driver your system users.
