Notes on Specific Drivers

+

Warning: When compiled with GNU-EFI, rEFInd's drivers hang when run on my 32-bit Mac Mini. The TianoCore-compiled versions are fine, and the GNU-EFI-built binaries are fine on a 32-bit VirtualBox. The 64-bit GNU-EFI-built versions are fine on a MacBook Pro. Thus, the problem is very limited in scope. The problem can be quite serious if you run into it, though, since you must bypass rEFInd to boot the computer. In debugging the problem, I found that a key funtion was being entered mid-function, which suggests either an EFI bug or a problem with the compiler or related tools. In any event, the solution is simple: Use driver binaries built with TianoCore if you have a 32-bit Mac.

I've tested several of the drivers described on this page on a handful of systems.

        The PPA version will update automatically with your other software, which you might or might not want to have happen. It's also built with GNU-EFI rather than with TianoCore.

        Warning: I know of one bug with the version of rEFInd built with GNU-EFI: On my 32-bit Mac Mini, the filesystem drivers hang when launched. This can render the system unbootable until you bypass rEFInd. This bug does not manifest when running the same binaries under a 32-bit VirtualBox, and I've never run into it on any 64-bit system (including a 64-bit MacBook Air). Debugging suggests that a function is being entered mid-function, which implies a bug in the EFI or in the development tools. In any event, the bottom line is to not use the PPA on a 32-bit Mac.

        + +

        The PPA version asks if you want to install rEFInd to your ESP. (Chances are you want to respond affirmatively.) The PPA version will update automatically with your other software, which you might or might not want to have happen. It's also built with GNU-EFI rather than with TianoCore. This last detail should have no practical effects, but it might be important if you've got a buggy EFI or if there's some undiscovered rEFInd bug that interacts with the build environment.

        Since version 0.6.3, the installation script makes an attempt to install rEFInd in a bootable way even if you run the script from a BIOS-mode boot, and therefore the RPM and Debian packages do the same. I cannot guarantee that this will work, though, and even if it does, some of the tricks that refind-install uses might not persist for long. You might therefore want to use mvrefind to move your rEFInd installation to another name after you boot Linux for the first time from rEFInd.

        • rEFInd now compiles and runs on ARM64 (aka AARCH64 or AA64) systems. To date, I've tested it only using QEMU, so this support is very preliminary, almost to the point of being theoretical.
          • + +
        • I've made significant changes to the Makefiles used to compile rEFInd. This should have no effect on the way rEFInd functions, or even in how most programming tasks are done; but the changes should help simplify some future changes.

        • I've made font changes: I've removed Luxi Sans Mono and changed the default font from Nimbus Mono to Liberation Mono.
          • + +
        • A bug that causes rEFInd to fail to detect boot loaders on removable media when rEFInd itself was launched from the fallback filename is now history.
          • + +
        • Fedora, Red Hat, and CentOS use a special recovery kernel with a name beginning vmlinuz-0-rescue. This kernel could be newer than others, which would make it the default on in a "folded" set of kernels—a highly undesirable situation. I've therefore modified rEFInd's loader-sorting algorithm to move this rescue kernel to the end of the list, no matter what its time stamp reads.
          • + +
        • I've added a workaround to gptsync to fix problems that caused it to skip through its menus using the defaults without taking user input on some Macs. I've also added 53746F72-6167-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC (Apple Core Storage, gdisk type AF05) to the list of partition types that gptsync recognizes.
          • + +
        • The refind-install script can now be run as a symbolic link in Linux, which means it can be run as a normal command.
          • + +
        • I've fixed bugs in refind-install and in mkrlconf that could cause them to misidentify kernel options. See NEWS.txt for details.
          • + +
        • I've moved the detailed description of refind-install from Installing rEFInd to a man page, and I've created HTML versions of the three man pages that the project now includes.
          • + +
        • I've added kernel* as a pattern for matching Linux kernels, since Gentoo Linux names its kernels by this pattern.
          • + +
        • I've updated LodePNG, which is the PNG graphics library that rEFInd uses, to version 20151024.
          • + +
        • The rEFInd PPA now asks for confirmation before installing to the ESP when the package is first installed. Updates follow the instructions given on first installation. You can modify this setting by typing dpkg-reconfigure refind.
