Just curiosity: What happens if you

- boot into MacOS once
- reboot
- use the rEFIt partitioning tool to sync the MBR
- reboot and try your Debian

? Your Debian should start ok afterwards from rEFIt

Without having a clue why, this is what actually works for me when it
happens once in a while. It seems that booting into MacOS fixes/syncs
something in the EFI environment that works ok afterwards.

Has anybody more insights on this?
