[archboot][macbook]Instalation problems

I have macbook air 3,2.
I was having a lot of problems instlling archboot on my, mac recently. I am almost complete newbie, by the way.

What I did.
1. I've parting my ssd with cgdisk(in wiki they are putting MBR but it is GPT) to have sda2 and sda3.(ext2)
1,5. rEFIt told me that he does not know what
2 I have installed grub2-efi with archboot installer and then used chroot to finished.

Results, after I managed some how to install grub:
1. I've got some insane artifacts on screen after loading udev(not directly after, but after-after). Then this disappeared and
2. I got keyboard problem.(absolutely no input)

Those problems only happens if I use efi boot, so if I but cd with efi I'll have this problem.

Pls help me! I was finding allot of screen/keyboard staff, but can not find any now.

P.S. Now I am installing Lion OS X
P.P.S Before I have installed archlinux iso with grub legacy and it worked alright.

Just to mention it: According to this post, the nvidia driver doesn't work when efi-booting, so you may have to use bios-compatibility, if you need this driver working.
