Hello! So I recently tried installing LibreELEC on my old macbook pro from mid 2011 (I've installed a ton of OS's on it without problem.)
After installing the OS from the USB stick, I rebooted and then it showed the Logo with the splash text "Just enough OS for KODI".
A few seconds later the screen flashes white and turns off, The fans are still running so there is still activity on the machine.
I read a post on here saying that old hardware might not be fully supported on recent versions so I decided to install the earliest version I could find, (7.x) and same issue. This version should work with my hardware so I'm very confused on why this is happening.

Mac hardware isn't particularly well supported under Linux despite the general similarity to PC hardware. You're more likely to have success with a bleeding edge image rather than an old one. Perhaps force SSH on with "ssh" in boot params so you can connect and look for issues.
