In May/June 2007 I failed at using Grub2 cvs - efi on my new MacBook too, with the same issue. But I'm using Grub2 with legacy boot sequence to boot... because it understands GPT :) and that works except the keyboard usually doesn't work during boot because of Apple's buggy bios. I'm not sure if chainloading would work due to grub2 not understanding HFS+ ? I tried putting grub2-efi and a linux kernel image on a FAT16/vfat partition. Anyway I can probably help test anything if needed. Isaac
