Hi,
I have a MacBook pro 2011 with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1 installed on it. I also have Bootcamp enabled.

I just installed rEFIt with the installer, but the menu doesn't show.. even after a few reboots, i also tried ./enable.sh but still nothing.
I permanently activated Verbose boot could that be the problem?

If you mean verbose mode flag in nvram boot-args, then it shouldn't affect rEFIt since that flag only affects Mac OS X booting and rEFIt occurs before that. But you can try disabling it.

I think some people have gotten rEFIt to work with MacBook Pro 2011 but with some problems:

rEFIt works without problems on a MacBook Air 2011:
