Hello, Thanks for letting me know its not just me. I think this problem isn't present for all computers with newer kernels, the GRML-medium64 daily build works fine on a MacBookPro. However I don't want to install Linux on the MacBookPro and it still doesn't really solve the problem for the other computers.
