You can try the amd64 version as well. The EFI firmware is 64-bit, it works better with a 64-bit kernel. It may even work without fakebios and the noefi option.
If it still fails, try debian 5.0...
BTW, do you have more than 4G memory ?
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.
You can try the noefi option.
Yeah, I have seen this before, grub2 seems to mess up GPT partition when running from the installer. One solution is to skip the boot loader step. After reboot, use live CD to open a rescue shell on...
I have tested BURG on HP ProBook, it works. BTW, this wiki have some tips on installing Windows 7, OSX, Ubuntu Lucid and FreeBSD 8 using UEFI/Apple EFI:

Have you tried my BURG version, does it have the same problem ?
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:
...
New PPA package 2010.04.25, now you can do all the tasks using variables in /etc/default/burg, no need to edit burg.cfg manually:
GRUB_LINUX16=true
Use linux16/initrd16 to load linux.
Yeah, I have seen similar reports before. I believe the reason for is that GRUB2/BURG writes multiple sectors to MBR, which conflicts with system data on some machine. Fortunately, BURG has an...
You can keep the quiet option, this should avoid most output.
As for GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX, you can set it to keep (default) or text (don't set it to blank), "keep" means keeping the current...
You can try BURG, it has a feature called folding. With hot-key 'f', you can toggle between normal and folding mode. In folding mode, you can use hot-key F7 to popup a menu with all available items.
You need to change root device as well, it'd be:
linux16 (hd0,3)/vmlinux root=/dev/sda3
initrd16 (hd0,3)/initrd.img
BTW, could you try the method in #18 to enable boot message ? It should...
I just install 9.04 and burg seems to be working fine. Although it disable kernel output by default, so the screen might seem frozen for a while but it's actually running in the background. If you...
You can press 'c' to open a console window, and enter these commands manually:
linux16 (hd0,1)/vmlinux root=/dev/sda1
initrd16 (hd0,1)/initrd.img
That's assumed your root is at...
It relies on os-prober to detect installed OS (same as grub2).
This looks quite similar to the radiance theme, you should be able to get this effect with minor modification.
BTW, here are screenshots of available themes in burg-themes package:...
Ok, it's done now. The launchpad PPA contains binary packages for jaunty, karmic and lucid.
I upload a source package to launchpad, then it'd be compiled to generate the binary package.
No, grub2 theme is much simpler, it doesn't support advanced features like theme selection menu...
Actually, Sora is a BURG theme. Currently BURG only has binary package for karmic and lucid, but supporting jaunty is quite simple, I just upload a new one. Launchpad is in maintenance mode right...
Try BURG. I have added a workaround for buggy BIOS which has similar "out of disk" problem.
I just add netfs driver for EFI platform, you can now netboot linux on your intel macs.
First, you need to setup netboot server. Macs uses BSDP (Boot Service Discovery Protocol) which is a...
Try this one. It's compiled with burg, the configure file should be named burg.cfg.
You can try burg, install guild:

BURG support loading of ntldr directly, so after /boot/burg/burg.cfg is generated, modify the Windows XP entry...
