Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: refit

Release: karmic
refit version: 0.13-3ubuntu2

When the bootloader displays the available boot options, an Ubuntu
install should be shown with a penguin icon and text such as "Boot Linux
from PartitionName". Instead, a generic Boot Camp icon is shown, with
the text "Boot Legacy OS from PartitionName".

It seems that the text for grub error messages recently changed slightly
(
http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/trunk/grub2/boot/i386/pc/boot.S?root=grub&view=log#rev2411
), and rEFIt is still searching for the old string to identify grub.
Since the only change was the trailing character (from nul byte to
newline), we should probably make rEFIt search for only the start of the
string without the trailing char.
