Later models have switched to 64-bit firmware, you need to use
x86_64-efi version of grub2.

Thanks, I tried a --target =x86_64, using multilib, compiled on the MacBook2,1 in i386, built OK, but could not run it on the macbook2,1. (I dont have a later model )

So does that mean I need to build another package for x86_64 and put that up for test  on later version Mac, quite a few people interested, especially for external drive booting.
