| May 5, 2016 at 19:42 | comment | added | Albin | Correct. I used the disk utility to format the disk and then installed El Capitan on it. Perhaps it is a firmware issue? It could be that boot and OS X rely on some functionality in firmware whereas Linux has the functionality within the kernel. Thanks for helping out with this. I really appreciate it. | |
| May 5, 2016 at 12:07 | comment | added | Allan | I have seen many instances where this symptom was present when there was a BC partition...but since you don't have one, then it's not relevant. I am still researching this...your HW is good otherwise it wouldn't in Linux. I am assuming you did a clean install on a formatted partition and not just overwrote what was there. | |
| May 5, 2016 at 6:53 | comment | added | Albin | @Allan nope. You think it would make a difference? | |
| May 4, 2016 at 15:11 | comment | added | Allan | Are you running Boot Camp by any chance? | |
| May 4, 2016 at 15:03 | comment | added | Albin | @Allan I'm holding down the Option key. I've run Apple diagnostics, but it returns No Errors Found - Reference code: ADP000. I have to use an external keyboard in both cases. Holding down D on the internal keyboard during startup, for example, does nothing. | |
| May 4, 2016 at 14:39 | comment | added | Allan | When selecting the startup disk, are you holding down Option or another key? Have you tried Apple Diagnostics ? | |
| May 4, 2016 at 14:31 | comment | added | Albin | @Angelplayer I'll do that on Monday if I haven't solved it by then. It's not under warranty so I'm a bit worried about my wallet though. | |
| May 4, 2016 at 14:29 | comment | added | Albin | @Allan I added some info to clarify. But basically I can't use the internal keyboard to select startup disk during boot. Using an external USB keyboard works. | |

| May 4, 2016 at 13:40 | comment | added | Allan | How does it not work during boot, but you can do an SMC/NVRAM reset? That would mean it works during boot. If you can do those things, run Apple Diagnostics by holding the D key while booting from a powered off state (make sure your AC adapter is plugged in) | |
| May 4, 2016 at 13:36 | comment | added | Munesawagi | I did a bit of research but couldn't find a solution...I would bring it on down to the Apple Store. | |
