Linux Mint on Mac not starting

Linux Mint (debbie 4) on Macbook Pro  (mid 2010)


Issue:

Does not boot, I got a black screen with several errors related to wl and md-raid45

Solution:

1. In linux boot, click e when you see the grub menu

2. Then navigate to the command which ends with the word splash and add 3 at the end of the line. Then click on f10. 

3. you will see the terminal, enter your username and password

sudo apt-get remove --purge broadcom-sta-dkms

sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-driver

sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-*

sudo apt-get remove --purge dmraid

sudo update-initramfs -u

4. To install the correct drivers, check my other post: http://techamad.blogspot.com/2020/09/ubuntu-elementary-os-on-macbook-pro-mid.html#more
