Quoth Colin Paul Adams on Sweetmorn, the 54th of The Aftermath:
> Can you sketch the details of this reformatting exercise please?
I'm not sure if the formatting is, strictly speaking, necessary; but
here's how I got Fedora 12 installed on the second-gen Air:
1. Used the Disk Utility on the OS X Install DVD to erase all the
partitions; see, e.g.:
http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/partitioning_tiger.html
for details.
2. Installed Fedora 12 with the following boot parameters:
intel_iommu=off vga=771
I find it interesting that it worked for you out of the box; with a
first-gen Air, I was forced to use:
xdriver=vesa acpi=off
3. At this point, you should have a successful installation which
fails to boot; if so, boot from a rEFIt[1] CD and run gptsync
from the Partitioning Tool.
It's possible that only step 3 is applicable to you, if indeed you
have a successful installation.
