i use a macbookair2,1 and have a kindle touch i wanted to jailbreak
i downloaded the boot.iso cd image from the original kubrick forum,
however my macbookair2,1 usually refuses to sucessfully boot to cds(yes i burned it correctly)
and unfortunately this includes this cd.
i also tried to boot it on a different computer i have but it was too old to boot it
(runs win 98, xp capable.)


i have windows 7 installed on my computer alongside mac os x 10.8 using bootcamp.
i decided my best option was to use a vm.
so i had four options:
-------------------------------------------------------------
virtualbox...................(mac or windows or linux)
vmware fusion............(mac only)
vmware player............(windows only)linux unknown
vmware workstation....(windows only)linux unknown
--------------------------------------------------------------
virtualbox=free
vmware fusion=30 day free trial then $
vmware player=free
vmware workstation=30 day free trial then $
--------------------------------------------------------------
all of these booted sucessfully with the following results

virtualbox..........hangs on (waiting for device...) during fastboot indefinitely
vmware fusion....hangs on (waiting for device...) during fastboot indefinitely
vmware player...........100% >succesfull<
vmware workstation...100% >sucessful<

boot directly from iso or cd (usb boot untested, and unecessary)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
yes i did test all of these individually with different configurations settings
also the hardware your computer is running on will likely have little or no effect on the results with the above software

i also sucessfully booted the cd on my friends computer after these tests

i suggest trying vmware player, as it is free

hope this helps
