Hi, Christopher.
What do you really mean by "testing with the latest kernel"? I try to guess, so 
please correct me if I'm wrong.
When the 3.19.0-16 kernel was installed, the process ended up with two vmlinuz 
files: vmlinuz-3-19.0-16-generic and  vmlinuz-3-19.0-16-generic.efi.signed.
Now, after the latest update I can find in the /boot folder only the 
vmlinuz-3-19.0-18-generic file. This can mean only two things: first) efi stub 
support has been temporarily suspended in this kernel's version (but I don't 
think so) second) the latest kernel is definitely an efi image that can be 
booted directly. In this case, ok, I'll try copying this kernel's version to my 
hfs+ boot partition.
That  said, I'm not sure if new macs do have the possibility to tweak the BIOS 
but my old model for sure doesn't have. In no way I can switch between 
secure/unsecure boot mode. My guess is that the EFI firmware is booting in 
UNSAFE mode by default (and actually this is what grub says very early at boot, 
BEFORE displaying the classical purple screen).
Anyway, I'll try with the latest kernel.
