Package: grub-efi-amd64
Version: 1.98-1
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze

Hi,  I followed the istructions on both: http://grub.enbug.org/TestingOnEFI
http://grub.enbug.org/TestingOnMacbook  menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux
2.6.32-3-amd64" {         root=(hd0,4)         fakebios         echo    Loading
Linux 2.6.32-3-amd64 ...         linux   /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-3-amd64
root=/dev/sda4 ro video=efifb         echo    Loading initial ramdisk ...
initrd  /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-3-amd64 }  I tried differents linux parameters,
without any change at all (noefi, acpi=force). Grub2 'fakebios' also make no
change.  grub-mkimage -d . -o grub.efi part_gpt hfsplus fat ext2 normal sh
chain boot configfile linux  I am placing the produced grub.efi app, *.mod and
grub.cfg in the hfs+ partition in /efi/grub/, and on reboot I can see it with
rEFIt. Grub2 starts, I select my entry, it loads vmlinuz and initrd.img, and
after everything freeze (no caps lock, no hd activity, no video output).
Thanks.
