Metatechbe, it would be possible for you to post a step by step guide starting with a clean system?
It would be great to have the guide here in the forums and also, include it in the bug report.
Thanks!

Metatechbe, I am following the step by step guide and I am having problems in one of the steps. According to the guide, in the Installing GRUB section you have to run the following two commands:
cd grub-core
../grub-mkimage -O $EFI_ARCH-efi -d . -o grub.efi -p "" part_gpt hfsplus fat ext2 normal chain boot configfile linux multiboot
I am in ~/grub/grub-core/ but the last command gives me an error:
bash: ../grub-mkimage: No such file or directory
Should I create manually the directory? Any ideas?
Thanks a lot.
I followed the guide so I got GRUB using:
bzr branch --revision -1 http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/grub/trunk/grub
Also, in the NEWS file it says: "New in 1.99:" so it should be 1.99...
OK. I started all over again and this time the error (in the same step "../grub-mkimage -O $EFI_ARCH-efi -d . -o grub.efi -p "" part_gpt hfsplus fat ext2 normal chain boot configfile linux multiboot") changed to:
unknown target format -efi
Try `../grub-mkimage --help' for more information.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

OK. Finally everything worked, sort of.
I had to modify the menu entries for grub.cfg as my / partition is sda5 instead of sda3... so, if anyone gets a "noinit found. Try passing init= bootarg" error, it might be this.
Another quirk is that when the system boots, a process named v86d is using 100% cpu...
Finally, the temperature, as reported by NVIDIA X Server Settings is about 50º, not 42º as expected.
Suspend/resume works but after resuming, the temperature goes up to >57º. I tried to use gpupwr but the following error appears:
ioperm failed
Segmentation fault
Brightness does not work, as advertised.
Other than that, great work guys.
