Hi there, I have a mac book pro which boot via refit and then grub and works almost perfectly on debian (except a few things including suspend to (ram|disk).
The partitions are : sda1 : EFI sda2 : MacOS X sda3 : / (Debian) sda4 : linux-swap sda5 : /home This morning the system was booting via refit which show me macos and Debian, and when I chose Debian it launch grub (grub-pc installed during the Debian amd64 install) which is installed on /dev/sda3 and boot one of the kernel in /boot. (Beginning of MYLIFE) Unfortunetely I decided it was more sexy to have a full grub boot, even if I really found refit menu nice with its icons. I first install grub-efi and try a grub-install on /dev/sda. I got a message about my partition not being an EFI partition so I did a mount /dev/sda1 /boot and tried again. It seemed to work but unfortunetely it just broke my boot sequence. I tried several manipulation in order to make the system boot with some grub-install /dev/sda3 and grub-install /dev/sda (from a 32bits knoppix). Unfortunetely I'm more crazy than that and I booted up on macos and tried an installation as explained here : http://grub.enbug.org/TestingOnEFI I configured, compiled and made image on an other Debian because as written it doesn't work with macos. Then I made the bless command and created (exactly) the same grub.cfg as mentioned. I rebooted and I got a grub2 menu instead of refit : Victory ! I was a bit disapointed by the fact grub-rfi can't install simply from my debian but I was happy. And nervous. I try one of the 2 entries and it didn't work. Of course, the other entry didn't work too. So now I have no refit and even the alt key pressed at the beginning don't show boot entry. Finally I manage to install back a grub-pc and I can boot if I rename grub.cfg on my debian system. If I don't do that I get a "Free magic is broken at (address) : (address)" but contrary to what I found on the net, I don't have any xfs file system (only ext3 file systems). I think I could make refit back tomorrow at work with a macos CD and get my debian working as before but I'd really like to have a working grub without getting refit before. (end of MYLIFE) Did one of you guy know how to install grub-efi properly from Debian or else like on the link mentionned before but with a working grub.cfg ?
