Thank you for the links, however I tried those pages already and ended up with a grub-efi that doesn't understand the "linux" command (i.e. won't load the kernel). The farthest I've been able to go is using 1.97~beta3 and adding a few more modules than the ones suggested by the above pages to the grub-mkimage process, however now it complains about the 'search' command. I'm using the same grub.cfg that I used to boot off using grub-pc from Debian (v 1.97~beta3) so I don't see why it's not recognising the search or linux commands.
On the other hand, there are like 4 or 5 efi/macbook threads with 500+ posts on the ubuntu forums. I would really appreciate it if there was some more direct answer, if you know it of course.. -- Booting linux crashes on 2009 White Macbook (hardware version ID "MacBook5,2") unless you use acpi=off or maxcpus=1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341230 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
