Is there ETA for a fix?

Partition Table is cleared during install on Intel Macs

attempts I've not been able to make it dual boot with OSX. So seems like
this problem is not yet completely fixed in Jaunty. I installed refit,
then installed ubuntu into boot camp partition. Installation went fine.
But when I
continuing to my post above...in my first ubuntu installation, I
accidentally installed grun on /dev/sda which did not work. In my later
attempts, I've been installing grub on /dev/sda4 (ubuntu partition). So
seems like I've grub installed in two places. Can that be causing this
problem?

Another thing...after ubuntu installation..refit partition tool did not
complain about partition table syncing...it said everything was already
in sync.

If refit said the partitions are in sync then that gives more evidence
that this bug is fixed. If you have other issues you should check the

Good to know Jan. We noticed that more recently this issue would cause
only a blinking question mark after reboot. We had generally been
recommending the use of rEFIt (on a CD or USB drive) to sync the
partition tables.
theOlster,
What tools did you use to partition before installing? We have
I was installing over a partition that previously existed, but was re-
formatted.
If you think it would be worth me removing the partition and starting
again from scratch, then I might have some time this weekend. But I only
want to do it if it is worth it!

No, it seems to manifest itself when you actually do the partitioning,
For those people who don't know how to get their machine to boot again
after this bug happened, I'll copy 2 lines from IRC here:

Perfect, that's just what I thought.
There are two causes for this bug. The first was that, in Hardy, I fixed
bug 107326, which meant that GPT support was broken for everyone *not*
on an Apple system. (That's the reason why simply reverting to an older
version is not the answer here; I don't like

The detailed tests in my previous post confirm that the 810 parted is
not updating the MBR with the partition information needed by apple
intel macs, resulting in the bug.

Solution:
The refit package should be part of the installation,
