Bug#381951: linux-2.6: EFI support needed for MacBook Pro



Package: linux-2.6
Severity: wishlist
Tags: d-i

Please consider activating EFI support for i386, which is needed for D-I 
to support installation on Intel-based MacBook Pro systems.

This would allow usage of elilo as bootloader.

under "Processor type and features").
