The easiest way to get it to work is to copy both files to the same location. If you insist on doing it the way you're trying, the problem you're having is caused by the fact that, unless I've missed something, you've copied the kernel, but not the initrd file, to the ESP. IMHO, this is a small price to pay for the advantages. The biggest disadvantage to auto-detection is that you can't control the name displayed as a prompt for the kernel.

#Refind boot manager not working ubuntu manual#

(You may need to run mkrlconf in Ubuntu to get the right kernel options to be used in some cases.) The manual initrd= option can be finicky (non-obvious typos and simple mistakes often wreak havoc), but auto-detection of the initrd file is typically flawless on Ubuntu systems. In most cases, auto-detection "just works," or works with minimal extra configuration. When you upgrade your kernel, rEFInd will auto-detect the newly-installed version with no need for re-copying the kernel or updating your configuration file.There's no need to manually copy your kernel rEFInd should detect them from their normal "homes.".

Using auto-detection has some big advantages over what you're trying to do: This is no longer necessary with rEFInd 0.10.0.) (Note that rEFInd 0.10.0 made some changes that help when using Btrfs with earlier versions, you had to add to the also_scan_dirs line in nf to detect kernels on Btrfs volumes.

#Refind boot manager not working ubuntu drivers#

Drop the appropriate driver in the drivers or drivers_圆4 subdirectory of your rEFInd installation directory and rEFInd should be able to detect your kernels in their normal location. Drivers for ext2/3fs, ext4fs, ReiserFS, Btrfs, and a few on which your kernels will likely not appear all ship with rEFInd and drivers for lots more come in the efifs package.

If not, the usual solution is to install an EFI filesystem driver for whatever filesystem holds your kernel. (You can easily change the icon in a number of ways, as described here.)ĭepending on where your kernel is and how you installed rEFInd, your kernels might or might not be auto-detected. This would be equivalent to your menuentry Grub option, except that the description and icon shown by rEFInd would be different. A default install with default options should definitely pick up GRUB automatically. Namely, you should rely on auto-detection for both the GRUB and direct-boot options.

Unless you have reasons for not using rEFInd's auto-detection that you've not mentioned, you're going about this the wrong way.

Ideally, I'd also like rEFInd to automatically update the ubuntu entry when the kernel gets upgraded.Īs I mentioned, I'm keeping GRUB as well, so I'd be ok with passing control to grub transparently, but I couldn't figure out how to send options directly to grub if that's the recommended way of doing this. By adding initrd lines, it now just says that it cannot find initrd., tries again higher up, and dies. The menuentry for Grub works great, but the menuentry for ubuntu so far only creates kernel panic (blinking capslock key, no boot) with and without the ostype and options. Icon /EFI/refind/icons-backup/os_unknown.png # Configuration file for the rEFInd boot menu I've copied the most recent kernel and refind_nf from /boot/ to /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu, and created the following nf: # I would like to keep Grub on hand, however, with a menu entry for that. I would like to set up a menuentry in rEFInd to boot directly into Ubuntu, without using GRUB.
