Fedora on Macbook Pro 2015?

Eastonator12 · Jan 14, 2017

Hello everyone...I have used the Fedora 24 Live Installer on my Macbook to make a Live Usb. I can boot from that on my mac using OPTION when booting, but when I installed it to another USB(From the live one) I can no longer boot. It has the fedora logo, but it goes to "emergency mode" dracut command line, and I have found no answers on Google...The errors I get are as follows,

"Warning: /dev/fedora/root does not exist.
"Warning: /dev/fedora/fedora-root does not exist.

You may want to regenerate your initramfs.

Any help would be appreciated.

You might be better off asking on the Fedora forums. This is mostly a gaming community, so experience with both MacBooks and Linux will be a tad sparse. My guess is that it tried to write to the MacBook's EFI table to add it's boot entry but because Apple it's not having any of that

Well, instead of using a USB, I decided to partition my hard drive (250 GB) and left 30 GB extra space (Already have Windows installed+MacOS), went back to the live USB and created the mount points...then it installed and I can triple boot fedora windows and macOS!

What about Paragon NTFS for Mac OS? Work like a charm for my External Hard Drive.

Apparently he got it working. I'm terrified to imagine what his bootloader ended up like though.

Boot loader is fine, everything still boots...but if I just turn it on it goes to grub I think
