At the moment, all EFI implementations can read FAT and Macs can read HFS+. By using drivers, you can make any EFI read HFS+, ISO-9660, ReiserFS, ext2fs, ext3fs, ext4fs, Btrfs, or other filesystems. Thus, if you use any of these filesystems on a regular partition (not an LVM or RAID configuration) that holds your kernels in /boot, you qualify for this easy method. The default partition layouts used by Ubuntu, Fedora, and many other distributions qualify, because they use one of these filesystems (usually ext4fs) in a normal partition or on a separate /boot partition. You must also have a 3.3.0 or later Linux kernel with EFI stub support, of course.

If you installed rEFInd 0.6.0 or later with its refind-install (formerly install.sh) script from your regular Linux installation, chances are everything's set up; you should be able to reboot and see your Linux kernels as boot options. If you installed manually, from OS X, or from an emergency system, though, you may need to do a couple of things manually:
Note that in this example, the default kernel (the one with the most recent time stamp) appears first on the list, with the labels specified in refind_linux.conf. Subsequent kernels (just one in this example) appear below it, with the same labels preceded by the kernel filename. If you were to set fold_linux_kernels false, each kernel would get its own entry on the main menu, and each one's submenu would enable options for launching it alone.
-To assist in initial configuration, rEFInd's install.sh script creates a sample refind_linux.conf file in /boot. This sample file defines three entries, the first two of which use the default GRUB options defined in /etc/default/grub and the last of which uses minimal options. The first entry boots normally and the second boots into single-user mode. If you want to create a new file, you can use the mkrlconf.sh script that comes with rEFInd. If you pass it the --force option, it will overwrite the existing /boot/refind_linux.conf file; otherwise it will create the file only if one doesn't already exist.

From a user's perspective, the submenus defined in this way work just like submenus defined via the submenuentry options in refind.conf, or like the submenus that rEFInd creates automatically for Mac OS X or ELILO. There are, however, limitations in what you can accomplish with this method:
