I tried checking out the code from CVS, however ./configure yeilds

I am using a macbook pro with the mbr blessed to be the default boot. This boots grub legacy which then loads grub2. After grub 2 is finally loaded, the timeout feature works to boot, but if I try to select a different option besides the default, the menu (and system) will freeze. This is true no matter which line I set as default. This version of the software was installed out of the ubuntu repositories (Kubuntu 8.04, Hardy, the KDE 4.0 version) This is on a penryn based macbook. Please let me know if there is a way to produce debugging output of if there is any other information I can provide. Also willing to do any other macbook testing that might be helpful to the project. |

grub-efi is of course different, grub-legacy doestn't support EFI at all and I even don't know much about EFI.
But good that this seems to be now fixed, then I only hope that the Debian bug reporter confirms this too.
