Anyone install Linux(any flavor) on a 2011 mini yet?
Currently trying builds in testing of Debian flavor. It gets through the install just fine, except the keyboard keymap.. (which you have to pick the kernel keymap instead of the default).
But I am having problems with grub
See whats really bugging me is that.. my 2011 switches drives on me..
WHAT? yeah really!! my disk0 switches with disk1 all the time..
What mini 2011 do I have? 5,2 with i7core, 8gig ram, 256gb SD drive and 750gb 7200 speed HD and the amd radeon hd 6630M
where am I attempting to install? on the 750gb hd...
Put grub on the /dev/disk1s3 drive.. (not on the EFI on s1, nor the grubbios on s2...) reboot to refit and get Missing Operating system and if i try to boot my win7 on the same drive..it will get missing operating system as well)
Not only that..because it likes to switch around my drives..???!!! it seems to screw with my SSD where OS X is(all alone) and refit starts showing EFI boot and a legacy drive...
So anyone have any luck yet?
Nutshell: want to tripple boot, OSX alone on first drive and win7 and linux(debian hopefully) on the seondary drive..
Running just fine with OSX(on first drive) and BOOTCAMP on end of second drive right now. Thinking Virtualbox just for linux
