Because of how Boot Camp works, the only reason specific Mac models would not be supported is because compatible drivers are not available. The reason for not officially supporting these models has not yet been officially stated. – Mac Pro (Mid 2006, Intel Xeon Dual-core 2.66GHz or 3GHz) Snow Leopard’s Boot Camp 3.0 also installs read-only HFS+ support for viewing Mac volumes under Windows.Īccording to the announcement, a series of Mac models “will not be supported for use with Windows 7 using Boot Camp,” specifically: Per AppleInsider, the drivers provide native support for Mac-specific hardware under Windows, such as a backlit keyboard, built-in iSight camera, trackpad, Bluetooth, graphics, networking, audio, and so on. I also found if in Restore Mode I try to use anything that requires internet, it will restart.In a recent memo to retail partners, Apple has announced that it will deliver support for Windows 7 in Mac OS X Snow Leopard’s Boot Camp utility by the end of the year via a software update, but exclude support for some Macs sold in 2006. I went into the grub menu and added nomodeset, and I found it restarted right as it hit something about networking (which I did not connect to during setup). Well, after a couple of seconds, just rebooted. Anyway, right before that Windows XP ran just fine on it, so I tried burning 18.04 instead of 18.04.4, and that worked! Went and restarted, and tried booting into lubuntu. It booted into the live DVD just fine, and was installing, until it said that either the DVD drive or the hard drive was dirty or bad. I wanted to try to run some modern programs on it, as the newest version of Mac OS X is Snow Leopard, and even Windows 7 doesn't run great on the iMac (but Windows XP does!) So, as the computer is 32-bits, I downloaded lubuntu 18.04 and burned it to a DVD.
So recently I got given a iMac Early 2006 basically speced out as much as possible from factory (Intel Core Duo, 2GB of RAM, DGPU).
