I wonder if this is related to the MacBook's BIOS(/EFI layer)
On the Core 2 Duo's it's easily reproducable.

This doesn't just happen on Live CD's it also happens with grub once the OS is
installed.
However this doesn't happen 100% of the time - I'd say that 3/4 of the time the
keyboard doesn't work in grub, I've not managed to work out the exact steps that
allow the keyboard to work.

Plugging in an external keyboard works but - you must plugin the USB keyboard
AFTER grub starts - not before.

This happens with and without rEFIt intall.ed
