Thread: rEFIt troubles

-

i downloaded , installed refit , ubuntu 12.04 on macbook pro 6,2. did in following order:

1. installed refit, rebooted affirm boots refit.
2. downloaded ubuntu (verified md5) , burned iso dvd.
3. partitioned 60 gb of free space in disk utility
4. inserted dvd, rebooted, refit boot screen booted ubuntu install dvd.
5. selected "try ubuntu", booted ubunto, used gparted create 4 gb of "swap" unallocated space , rest (~56gb) "ext4". apply changes
6. started install desktop shortcut.
7. when asked "dual boot", "overwrite", "my own thing", selected own thing. selected ext4 partition (56 gb) location of install , location of bootloader install. set mount point of partiton "/". clicked "install now". finished installing, rebooted , once @ refit screen went the refit partition tool , fixed partition tables no longer matched.

here's falls apart. when boot linux refit goes grayed out picture of linux penguin...forever. partition maps still wrong? need create hybrid mbr? (google) anyway, partition inspector gives me following:
