This is your problem. You really need to let the OS partitioner make its
own partitions. Use Drive Setup for Mac partitions and parted or the YDL
installer for making linux partitions. Specficly the YDL installer needs
to create the ybin boot partition becasue Nothing else out there will set
it to the type ybin needs.
Wipe all the parttitions on the 'cuda (eg: they should be listed as "Free
Space") you want to use for linux and use the installer partition editor
to remake them.
