Retina MacBook 2013 no volumes showing in menu

[Moritz Moeller]

I have a brand new RetinaMac Book Pro (2013, 13") model 11,1.
I wanted to install a dual boot Ubuntu via refind.

I did this:
- Activate FileVault
- Re-Partition the disk 500 GB SSD into two equal 250GB halves via DiskUtlity
- install refind using ./install.sh --esp

After rebooting I get the refind menu but there are no volumes to boot from!
Except the Apple recovery volume. :(
Ofc I can boot into Ubuntu from a USB stick to edit the refind.conf but what do I put there to get the OS X partition to show up in the menu? It seems refind's automatic detection doesn't work.

Cheers,

The Mac OS X partition is encrypted by File Vault. To boot into Mac OS X, the Mac boots a partition of type "Apple_Boot" which knows how to boot the encrypted Mac OS X partition. The Apple_Boot partition is either named "Recovery HD" or "Boot OS X" (for RAID).

Use "diskutil list" to get a list of your partitions.

Select the Mac OS X partition in the Startup Disk preferences panel. Then close System Preferences.app. Then use "bless --info" to see which efi file was chosen for the System File. Create a boot stanza in the refind.conf file (menuentry) to point to that file.

Moritz, please see:

In particular, you may need to remove "Recovery HD" from the dont_scan_volumes option list.
