A couple of the thumb drives I was using required more power than my old macbook was capable of providing. At that point, I went to a stick that I had already booted, and burned EndeavourOS to it and - it booted live with no problem. This is an indication that the usb stick requires more power than the usb port can provide. I kept messing about trying to figure out why and then hit on EndeavourOS, which had the 'quiet boot' off by default, and I saw that it was hanging with a usb error -110. I discovered, by burning different distributions to usb, that some of them would not boot. I'm updating this because I've been playing around with this all day. I suspect something amiss with your thumb drive. I'm certain that both bootable usb's were made with the Linux USB Image Writer. I booted my old 2008 macbook with both 19.3 and 20.0, and then 20.2 and all booted successfully. Those old machines take a looooong time to boot from usb btw. I may have made the Foxclone bootable usb with the USB tool on one of my Mint computers and not with balena etcher at all-but like I said, I'm not certain. My memory is fuzzy, but I think the way I 'installed' on the SSD was by making a clone of the old spinner drive using Foxclone, then replacing it with the SSD and using the clone to restore Mint.

Linux works so well on old macbooks that I upped the ram to the 4GB max and installed an SSD on mine.

I also reset the PRAM before plugging in the usb and booting the install, but can't say that makes any difference and can't see why it would.

I've since used it to install Mint on a couple of different white macbooks. The way I eventually solved that problem was to install the latest balena etcher on a 2015 macbook air and then burning the iso to a bootable usb stick. Balena Etcher wouldn't run on Snow Leopard because it was too old. I ran into the same problem when I installed Mint on a 2008 core2 duo macbook. Therefore I decided to post this topic here and hope it is ok. I normally only deal with Linux and would not like to register at a Mac Forum only to post this single question.

It would be a pitty not to use the macbook any more but under the old Mac OS X it is practically impossible.Ĭan somebody help? Are there another ways to create a bootable USB stick containing an LM ISO?ĭisclaimer: I now this is a Linux Mint Forum, and I have a problem on a Mac. I have the impression, that balenaetcher does not create the right bootable USB drive because it is neither recognised at the iMAC, which normally functions ok. There, the boot drive and a recovery drive are presented, but not the USB drive. The USB stick is not recognised at the MacBook at any time, either not at book time when pressing the “alt” key after the gong.

I have been trying to install Linux Mint 20.3 64 bit Cinnamon on a Macbook running Mac OS X Version 10.7.5Īfter formating the USB stick on a iMac running macOS Sierra 10.13.6 I used balenaetcher (also running on the iMac) to create a bootable USB stick.
