Ubuntu karmic has < grub-efi_1.96+20090523-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb >, which is up
to SVN grub2 rev 2233 - with the recent Apple Intel revs from Bean and
phcoder, which I have been using, so should be ok, but I will try it and
report in relation to this bug, which I had forgotten. The main outstanding
issue is the inability to run 3d acecelerated nvida and ati graphics on
Apple Intel, but that is another story.

Bug description:
grub-efi_1.96+20080512-1ubuntu2_i386

on my macbook (see below): 

 grub.efi from the ubuntu grub-efi package :

	grub-efi_1.96+20080512-1ubuntu2_i386.deb

		is broken. 

grub.efi made with all modules and installed manually fails
to load ubuntu kernels 

 vmlinuz-2.6.26-5-generic
 vmlinuz-2.6.26-5-generic
 vmlinuz-2.6.25-1-386
 and others.

and has bugs in its command line.

It does manage to chainload macosx. boot.efi

I use grub.efi made by grub-mkimage compiled from the grub2 gnu source, it works.
