@Bernard: After I load the efivars module (which gives no erros), then I do a "$lsmod | grep efivars", but get nothing. Also I can't find the /sys/firmware/efi folder. "dmesg | tail" gives me nothing special either. Weird, I just assumed since I was using grub-efi, I would be in EFI mode. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? (I'm using refit and grub-efi-amd64)
About the patch, seems pretty straight-forwards. Just adds a booting parameter. Even though it's a "dirty fix", seems reasonable to me to add it.
