Unable to boot live 15.10 on MacBook Pro 8,2

Asked by Luca Ciavatta

I wanted to test Ubuntu 15.10 from live USB on a MacBook Pro 8,2 with Radeon HD 6770M.
Currently, the machine has installed Ubuntu 15.04 with Radeon disabled in grub and works well. I have installed this booting the live USB of Ubuntu 15.04 through a 'nomodeset' command in grub options. I'm looking to do the same to testing live the 15.10, but it seems not work.

If I boot the USB normally, the boot stopped at [6.9] with "i8042: No controller found" issue.
If I boot removing "quite splash" from grub, the boot stopped at [7.3] with "fb: switching radeonfmfb from EFI VGA" issue.
If I boot removing "quite splash" and adding "nomodeset" in grub, the boot stopped after a couple of minutes on "[ OK ] Started WPA supplicant".

I suggest you report a bug. Wily is not ready and not stable in any way.

I assume you MD5 tested the ISO you downloaded.

Yes, the ISO is MD5 tested.

Ok, thanks. I'll report like a bug.
