[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1210232, member: 46727"] If rEFIt won't boot Ubuntu it's because the partition is likely not bootable. Make sure you have GRUB installed correctly and on the right partition. I usually advise someone who wishes to use Ubuntu along with OS X to forgo creating a swap partition or one for "home" as it only adds to the complexity. You only need one partition. Besides, the modern versions of Ubuntu run fine without a swap or home partition. I've run it that way with only 512MB of memory. [/QUOTE]
