Bug Description
Hi
I have installed ubuntu on a macbook core 2 duo and it takes ages to boot. I've read this is related to the fact that the guid partition is deleted and apple's bios take a long time to realize it's the mbr where the bootloade is (grub). I've read here this could be solved with elilo:

I don't know if this could be fixed with grub2, but at least I wanted to know if there's a fix for this in grub.
thanks

This has another annoyance, when there's a cd inserted in the laptop, apple's efi will boot it since it seems to find it before the mbr. And since the core 2 duo macbook has a bug in grub which sometimes the keyboard is not recognized, you have to do a full boot in the live cd to then reboot. I know it's a strange use case but it has already happened to me :(
thanks
