- <li>The drivers I've built fail to load on a 32-bit Mac Mini; I get an
- "incompatible version" error message at an EFI shell, or an error
- code of 80000019 when rEFInd tries to load them. (These two
- messages are equivalent.) I suspect the problem is related to the
- EFI version 1.<i>x</i> used on the Mac, as opposed to UEFI
- 2.<i>x</i> used on PCs. I'm looking into the problem. In the
- meantime, if you have this problem, I recommend tracking down
- equivalent drivers from other sources. (See the <a

- appreciate <a href="mailto:rodsmith@rodsbooks.com">hearing from
- you</a> if you have problems along these lines. Please tell me what
- type of computer you're using, and especially the firmware version
- data (from rEFInd's "about" screen). This may help me narrow down
- the cause.</li>
+ <li>The 32-bit versions of the drivers return filesystem labels that
+ omit the first two characters of the name. If the name is shorter
+ than two characters, the driver may return the wrong volume's
+ label. The 64-bit builds seem to be unaffected by this bug.</li>
<li>Drivers for additional filesystems are required. Given the recent
shift to ext4fs, that should be the priority; however, other Linux
