Hasn't worked for me at all no matter how I create the USB, working with a 2011 MBP. Tried literally every method, and several distros.

I've had good luck booting Fedora (at least 19 and 20, and I think 18) on Macs.

Other distros don't seem to work with Apple's EFI implementation. To boot other distros, I've had good luck with the refind[1] bootloader. Granted, I have only been booting live USBs, not installing on the internal drive.
