#THE REFIND BOOT MANAGER FOR MAC#
RefindPlus is a fork of rEFInd that add several features and improvements for Mac devices, specifically MacPro 3,1, MacPro 5,1, and equivalent Xserve. REFInd can be built with either GNU-EFI or TianoCore EDK2/UDK. Typical purposes of an EFI application are fixing boot problems and programmatically modifying settings within UEFI environment, which would otherwise be performed from within the BIOS of a personal computer (PC) without UEFI. GNU-EFI and TianoCore are supported as main development platforms for writing binary UEFI applications in C to launch right from the rEFInd GUI menu. REFInd is included in official repositories of major Linux distributions. REFInd is the default Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) boot manager for TrueOS. Linux-specific features, including autodetecting EFI stub loader to boot Linux kernel directly and using fstab in lieu of rEFInd configuration file for boot order.Mac-specific features, including spoofing booting process to enable secondary video chipsets on some Mac.You can then begin restoring the driver(s) that you need. If rEFInd comes up and shows a menu after removing the filesystem drivers, even if the menu options are incomplete, then this is good it indicates that there’s a problem with one of the filesystems or their drivers. In an extreme case, you could try backing up the ESP (and/or other FAT partitions), creating a fresh filesystem, and restoring the data.Ĥ. You can try doing a filesystem check on such partition(s) with dosfsck in Linux, CHKDSK in Windows, or similar utilities.
#THE REFIND BOOT MANAGER DRIVERS#
If rEFInd hangs even with no EFI filesystem drivers installed, then the problem is likely with the ESP or some other FAT filesystem.
#THE REFIND BOOT MANAGER DRIVER#
(Normally there’ll be only one drivers subdirectory just remove all those driver files.) Reboot.ģ. Remove (or move) all the EFI filesystem drivers from the “drivers”, “drivers_圆4”, and “drivers_ia32” subdirectories of the rEFInd installation directory. If this fixes the problem but you need to use the external disk on a regular basis, you may need to further debug the problem as below but if it’s just a USB flash drive that you don’t need to leave permanently attached, then this should be the end of it.Ģ. If you have any external disks attached to the computer, try This sort of problem normally indicates a filesystem issue – rEFInd is getting stuck in an infinite loop attempting to read one of the filesystems on the disk. This is a quote from refind’s author Roderick W. If it isn’t a drive issue for you, see if any of the below helps. The rEFInd documentation mentions that some systems, particularly HP systems, dont allow the boot manager configuration to be changed to anything other than the default bootmgfw.efi program. NOTE: You don’t need the NTFS driver to boot into Windows, since the EFI partition is using FAT. In my case it was an issue with the NTFS driver, so all I had to do was remove the ntfs_圆4.efi file from the EFI\Boot\drivers_圆4 folder. Refind shows up without any option (hangs) This should rebuild your EFI partition and you should be able to boot into Windows now.
#THE REFIND BOOT MANAGER WINDOWS 10#
To format and rebuild the partition, boot into your Windows 10 media (I hope you have one), launch a command prompt and execute the following: mountvol B: /s format B: /FS:FAT32 bcdboot C:\Windows /s B: /f UEFI Note that this will only work if Windows is the only operating system installed in this partition. I usually just format the partition and ask Windows to rebuild it, this way you should have a fresh start.
#THE REFIND BOOT MANAGER INSTALL#
This probably happened to me a few dozen times in the process of trying to install refind.Īll you have to do is fix your EFI partition. Troubleshooting I messed things up and now I can’t boot my computer Since we manually added the Windows entry to refind, you should be able to boot into Windows from there. Next time you boot your firmware should not find Windows Boot Manager and fallback to refind. Close the command prompt and restart your computer. In this blog post I’ll be covering the process of installing and troubleshooting refind bootloader from a machine running Wind(although I hope this will survive any updates from Microsoft).Īt first, I tried following the official documentation and replacing the Īnd that’s it.
