So I want to get Fedora installed on a second partition on my Macbook Pro 8,1. I got rEFInd installed and boot to the CD but it boots to a blank screen. If I add the nomodeset xdriver=efifb option I past the black screen but it just sits on the screen where it lists the starting services.

Has anyone been able to get Fedora 20 installed correctly?
 
I do not know if you need the xdriver=efifb option. You DEFINITELY want nomodeset, though.

With just nomodeset it gives me the black screen. Just using the normal start I get stuck at this screen:
