Hi Andu and Scott,
Thanks for all your help! I installed again, put GRUB on the MBR this
time, rebooted, synced the MBR in rEFIt, selected Linux and rebooted,
and Linux came up!
So hopefully I can get my system all set up now.
Cheers, Mike.

Just one more quick question -- in one of my earlier failed attempts I

I've got it at now.

Install Grub in the MBR, that's the trick! What else
Hi again Andu,
I should have added, that in all cases I installed GRUB on my Linux
partition (/dev/sda2), not the MBR. Also I always set the bootable flag
on that partition to "on". Is this what I should be doing?
Cheers, Mike.
Hi Andu,
Still no success, sorry.
Here's a rundown of what I did:
1. Rebooted, entered the rEFIt partitioner. Synced the MBR. Seemed to

Do you mean http://refit.sourceforge.net/ ? You can't install EFI, it's
already on the machine like BIOS was on old hardware.
Hi Andreas -- yes, I meant
