    [other] Re: grub2 EFI boot loader internal/external booting

    You can use debian for the time being. Ubuntu is based on debian, most package is available in both ubuntu and debian. I'd test the ubuntu kernel when I have some spare time.

    [other] Re: grub2 EFI boot loader internal/external booting on MacBookPro6,2

    No, it doesn't depend on kernel. But some kernel has bugs that may hang without the noefi option. Perhaps this is some new issue regarding 10.04 release, I'd test it on my mac soon.

    The reason for this issue is that some program write information at the beginning of disk, which overwrites the grub loader. One way to solve it is to use BURG loader:
