The disk isn't detected, there's no way I can grab the dmesg... The latest update doesn't work either, just -9. The grub keyboard issues make it suboptimal to change kernel at boot (most of the times the keyboard doesn't work).

I get the following errors:

ATA: abnormal status 0x7F on port 0x20CF
ATA: abnormal status 0x7F on port 0x20CF
ATA: abnormal status 0x7F on port 0x20CF
ata1.01: qc timeout (cmd 0x27)
ata1.01: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x40)
ata1.01: limiting speed to PIO0
ata1: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs

ata1.01: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x40)

ATA: abnormal status 0x7F on port 0x20C7

Then drops to a shell on the initramfs.

I'll try this next: http://www.odi.ch/prog/macbookpro/index.php#4
