I have two MacBooks A1181 and two HDD, one with OS X 10.6 and one with Linux Mint 20.2 (installed using a guide I found specifically for this Mac which is 64 bit but the EFI is 32 bit). Both HDD are working fine on MacBook 1. On the second MacBook I have weird issues.
Using the OS X HDD, every time inserting the magsafe power cord, it automatically turns on and boots in OS X. This is not happening with the other MacBook.
Using the Linux HDD, the same thing happens. After inserting the power cable, the MacbBook turns on and boots. After shutting it down and turning it on again, I can hear the fan spinning but I don't hear the chime sound and it stays like that forever. The only ways to turn it on is to remove the power cable, hold power button for 5" and insert the power cable or disconnect power, remove the HDD and reinsert. Then it starts automatically again when I connect the power cable with the chime sound and boots in Linux.
I used a bootable OS X USB drive to boot in recovery and bless the Linux HDD to reduce the wait time on white screen on boot. After running this command:
I got:
If I run
I get
What could that mean?
I'm not asking support for Linux since this is clearly not the issue. Linux HDD is working fine on MacBook 1 and the second MacBook experience the auto start with both OS X and Linux.
What could these symptoms mean?
