Here donot work~~anyone can help ?
Makbook Air 3.2(13", 2010) , EFI64, grub-efi-x86_64, Arch-x86_64 kernel,

    1. first i use kernel 2.6.38, i have to add "noefi" to kernel boot parameters(ref: http://grub.enbug.org/TestingOnUEFI) otherwise the screen turns black when i press enter in the grub menu, even though, the keyboard donot work during the whole booting process~~i canot logon ...
    2. I tried to patch "run efi in physical mode( .patch)" to kernel 2.6.38, but there are several files lack in the kernel source tree(i.e. efi.c efi_64.c), i couldnot apply the patch to this version...(how ?)
    3. I downloaded the 2.6.35 souce, and applied the patch, rebuilded the kernel and initrd, and it boots without adding "noefi" but the kernel counld find root filesystem /dev/sda5(ext4)~~~lead me to ramfs rescue shell, but the keyboard still donot work ~~~i tried remaking the initrc according (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=110051) , still no ~~~
