Some devices from /dev need to be bound (via mount) to /mnt/ubuntu/dev You’ll need to use ‘chroot’ to tell apt-get that /mnt/ubuntu shall be treated as root directory. The steps are downloading the package of debootstrap and unpacking it. Have a look at a tutorial for installing 6 Ubuntu via ‘debootstrap’, e.

Partitions for installing Ubuntu 15.10 Wily on NVMe SSD Step 5: Install Ubuntu 15.10 via debootstrap Mount partition 3 at /boot/efiĬheck via 'swapon' if swap space is recognized. Create /mnt/ubuntu/home and mount partition 5 there. This will be the root directory of the new installation. Step 4: Mount PartitionsĬreate a directory /mnt/ubuntu on your running system on the USB stick. If necessary create file systems in the partitions. There is the root directory / for Ubuntu on parititon 4. Here are my partitions from testing: 1 24.6kB 315MB 315MB fat32 EFI System Partition boot, espĢ 316MB 4800MB 4485MB linux-swap(v1) swapįor EFI boot I install a FAT partition which shall be mounted as /boot/efi If so the SWAP space shall be loaded into memory. The Linux kernel shall have a look if there is a running system in hibernation.

Either it was just suspend, but if in hibernation it needs to restart from the solid state this. Opening the MacBook Air shall restart the operating sytem. Hence the content of the non permanent memory, the 4 GB ram, shall be written to the 4 GB SWAP paritition. Shutting the MacBook Air shall later suspend the notebook or even turn it into hibernation. The space is need for suspending / hibernation to work. It has to be as big or bigger than the memory of the MacBook Air 7,1 which has 4 GB memory. I kept the first partition with the EFI boot system from Apple. Use ‘fdisk’ or ‘parted’ to partition your solid state disk. You need the ethernet connectioner on the MacBook Air 7,1. You should not need that and use CLI parted.įor further steps you’ll need a LAN connection.

I had deleted all parititions but one by the help of Mac OS x. Have a look at Linuxdaddy for a how-to.It is still a little bit buggy, I can tell from some messages in the log files. Step 2: Install Linux Kernel 4.4.0rc4 on that Ubuntu USB Stick Therefore I used the MacBook Air but that does not matter.īoot into this system. I installed Ubunty Wily (15.10) from a USB stick onto a USB stick. The easiest way to install Ubuntu without a running installation CDROM or live CD is probably form another Linux system onto a hard disk. MacBook Air 7,1 with Linux Step 1: Install a working Ubuntu 15.10 Wily on a USB stick In the end I found out that kernel 4.4.0 rc4 works.
#UBUNTU 16.04 BCM4360 BCMA KERNEL MAC OS X#
The hard disk maintenance program of Mac OS X was able to deal with it. Despite seeing the devices, partitioning did not work.

I wasted a lot of time with a kernel 4.4.0 release candidate 2 (rc2). I tried a 4.3 version and could see the SSD. Fixes are out there and the problem shall be solved by kernel 4.4.0. Nowadays Linux kernel comes with an NVMe module but they don’t recognize the Apple one. And that is the problem: it does not register as a NVMe device. The mass storage device registers at the operationg system as one. It comes with an NVMe controller but a new one from Apple Inc. The Macbook Air 7,1 is still delivered with a solid state disk (SSD). The problem about installing Linux on the up-to-date versions of the MacBook Air and probably some other notebooks from Apple, like the Macbook version 8, is the build in hard disk controller. It shall be a guide for people to follow before there is installable distribution that even work on the MacBook Air 7,1 and further Apple notebook with an Apple NVMe controller. What’s the matter? This text describes my journey to a booting operating system on my new toy. The hard disk of the MacBook Air 7,1 was not recognized by the installation CDROMs of OpenSuSE Leap 41.1 and Ubuntu 15.10. I was sure it would include some hardware problems to deal with because I don’t use Mac OS X, I use Linux. Switching from a MacBook Air 3,1 to a MacBook Air 7,1 was necessary.
