Hello,
I wanted to install linux on my Mac Mini 2011 and therefore partitioned my hard drive. To dual boot I have previously installed rEFIt.
But when I restarted, all I got was a white screen.
I have used command-option-r-p to reset the PRAM, and that works.
I've tried booting from usb, recovery mode and network recovery but none of them do anything. All I get is the same blank screen.
I'm not really sure what could cause it. Shouldn't internet recovery work even if my hard drive got corrupt during the partitioning? 😕
Any help appreciated, thanks.
EDIT: I contacted apple and it's a known problem. It tries to boot from the hard drive, but fails. And for some reason you can't boot from anything else to correct it, which is quite stupid. I bought it less than a year ago so they will fix it for free.
