intel/desktop: use GRUB2 to chainload rEFInd

paralin opened this issue 3 years ago · 3 comments

Some platforms (Lenovo Laptops) don't detect the rEFInd EFI correctly.

Use grub2 to chainload the rEFInd binary:

set default="0"
set timeout="1"

menuentry "Refind" {
        chainloader /EFI/refind/refind_x64.efi
}

cc @peterwilli not sure if you have done your testing w/ intel/desktop yet but this is relevant.

I have but not the second distro thing yet. I'll try both today (I hope, have to prepare a lot for vacation)

Most EFi issues are solved with fixes to refind, there were some mistakes in how it was setup. I'll re-open this again if I can't figure out how to get refind to work reliably.
