 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue
for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

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.

# dmidecode -t system
