Correct Hi all, David, I own Macbook 6,1 and how I fixed the issue.
Download Firmware Update 1.7 http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacBook_Pro_EFI_Firmware_Update_1_7_ MacBookPro5,5 the same hardware MacBook6,1, to extract MBP55_00AC_03B_LOCKED.scap. mv MBP55_00AC_03B_LOCKED.scap MB61_00C8_B00_LOCKED.scap sudo bless -mount / -firmware MB61_00C8_B00_LOCKED.scap --verbose Shutdown and restart Mac update the firmware and restart automatically. Attention consequences, the MacBook6,1 as new model identifier MacBookPro5,5 but works well, possible problems could rise with future firmware update.

After forcing the machine off and on multiple times I was able to bring up the rEFIt boot menu by pressing and holding the 'Alt' (or Option) key and I can then boot into MacOSX or Ubuntu without a problem. After restarting / powering off I then have to turn the computer on / off the same number of times (3 or 4, I don't remember exactly) where nothing happens until it works again. I am using a MacbookPro 5,5 (13.3 Inch). My harddisk is setup as follows: 200MB Partition for EFI 20GB Partition for OSX 18.6 GB Partition for / (ext4) 108.49 GB Partition for /home (ext4) 1.86 GB Partition for swap Other people also seem to experience the same issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10743955&posted=1#post10743955 This is a pretty big problem for me, so your help is very much appreciated.
