Hi, The new ""Santa Rosa" generation of macbook is 64-bit. Although I double that it's the problem. If the firmware doesn't match, you can't load grub2 at all. Oh btw, you shouldn't load 64-bit linux kernel in 32-bit firmware, and vice verse. Your problem could be caused by 2.6.27. I only test 2.6.26, perhaps you can try that and see how it goes. -- Bean _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
