Bug#423239: CD boot loader doesn't detect macbook's (core 2 duo) keyboard

[Javier Monteagudo]

Package: grub
Version: 0.97-27

Hi

if I run debian etch live cd x86 on a macbook core 2 duo, the keyboard
isn't usable until the kernel has booted, i.e. it doesn't work in grub.

Steps to reproduce:
1. press c on macbook startup.
2. boot from cd
3. grub doesn't detect the keyboard

This has been mentioned also in the debian wiki:
http://wiki.debian.org/MacBook

This bug also occurs on ubuntu feisty and fedora core 6.

thanks
