Hi, The kernel vesion may be the bug there, I have found grub.efi needs 2.6.26 or later, configured with EFI enabled, else the result is similar to yours.
I have had a grub.efi test package built from vesion 1913, running in ubuntuforums.com (apple intel) for a while, a number of people tried it. grub.efi it would load and run for Apple MacBook2,1, Apple mini2,1 MacBook pro 2,2 or earlier , i.e. none of the current Apple MacBooks, but no reports for Apple xserver, Imac or Mac Pro. It is therefore very interesting that grub.efi loads and runs on the Mac Pro, I would like to know what your the Model version is. peter cros On Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 8:42 AM, Ziling Zhao <zilingz...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm trying to get grub2 working on a Mac Pro using pure EFI. > > So, I've mucked around a bit and grub is loading.
