There is also a problem with Apple 64 bit grub.efi booting ubuntu 2.6.27 linux in which the kernel is booted and starting but all video is lost after the boot command. I don't know if there may be a connection.
A temporary fix is to change Video frame buufer settings in /loader/i386/efi/linux.c: grub_find_video_card and grub_linux_setup_video Then proceeds to the next bug (libata hangup during initrd ).
