    rEFIT refuse don't work

    I had rEFIT working nice before. Then i uninstalled rEFIT (as described on the rEFIT homepage) and got back to normal boot.

    Now, when i need to install it again (to install Ubuntu), the installation completes successfully, but i get normal boot OSX. I have tried to manually install rEFIT, but without success. I always get to the normal boot of OSX.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Mike

    from within OSX:
    Open Terminal and enter the following commands:

    Code:
    cd /efi/refit
    ./enable.sh
    When prompted, enter the password for your user account.

    If everything went well, you’ll see the rEFIt boot menu on the next restart.

    Iv'e done exactly that a few times, but no change. However, after giving it up, and restarting a few times it suddenly start to work for no obvious reason.

    Well great. I also don't understand but I'm glad it worked for you.
