[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1239624, member: 46727"] Remove rEFIt and try booting manually by holding down the OPTION key. It appears the partitions are setup correctly although I would have chosen not to create a Linux Swap partition as it's really not needed unless you're short on memory. "GRUB" is the Linux boot loader and it should be where it's currently located. That looks OK as far as I can tell. I've never attempted to install the 64 bit version of Ubuntu (only 32 bit many times) so I can't be sure if everything is setup correctly. Follow the rEFIt instructions to remove it or just go to: MacIntosh HD/EFI and change the name of the folder to something like MacIntosh HD/EFI_save That will kill rEFIt and stop it from attempting to load GRUB. However, you will need to use the OPTION key to attempt to boot into Ubuntu after doing that. [/QUOTE]
