Have you tried updating your firmware?

I am inherently suspect of the legacy boot stuff. I suppose those who
use it have their reasons, but I'm all for moving ahead and leaving the
old bios behind! 

The legacy boot option has always failed with my refit configuration
(same error as yours) but it knows how to find and load elilo, so all
is well.
