Installing OpenSUSE 12.2 on a Macbook Air 3,2 via USB
Dec 10th 2012, 19:56

Hey!

I have a Macbook Air 3,2 which is unable to boot from USB media. I've tried a myriad of different solutions now, and maybe it's starting to approach "file a bug"-time, but I'm asking to see if anyone can spot anything I've done wrong.
So far I've tested:
OpenSUSE 12.2
OpenSUSE 12.3 Milestone 1

Both on GPT and MBR USB media and both i386 and x86_64 Live GNOME/KDE exhibit this problem.

Fedora 17 and Fedora 18 Beta 1 same approach.

Now, I've used several utilities for transferring the ISO image to the USB key. ImageWriter from the OpenSUSE site, Fedoras own utility for creating usb keys, unetbootin, dd and linuxlive creator. I also tried the advice from a Microsoft support site which claimed it could work of you just copy and paste the files, this did not have any effect. So right now I'm not getting anything installed on it, so any help is greatly appreciated!
