I think Squeeze does not support UEFI properly. It would at least need a 3.2 backport kernel What did you do to make it work? I have tried two times to get either of: - GPT + UEFI - MBR + UEFI - GPT + BIOS to work on a ThinkPad T520 and the only think that works right now is - MBR + BIOS My problem was that the UEFI boot menu never offered to boot from the EFI boot partition that I made. I think I might have been missing some efibootmgr magic that was explained here or elsewhere before, but as you managed to get to work, I´d like to know the exact steps or a link to a guide that works, before trying again. Why the GPT + BIOS stuff did not work is beyond me – I hat a BIOS boot partition for GRUB and grub-install also seemed to use it. I bet its not really faster tough since the ThinkPad doesn´t take much time in the BIOS anyway. And due to LVM I do not really need GPT, but it would be nice to have it anyway.
