Cunstom icons on lagacy partitions?

[billhughes]

Hello!

Currently, I'm booting two variants of Ubuntu: Gnome (/dev/sda5) and Kubuntu (/dev/sda6). I'd like to differentiate the two with custom icons I made.

It seems on ext4 patitions, creating a .VolumeIcon.png doesn't work, so I tried custom menuentries:

menuentry Gnome {
icon EFI/refind/custom_icons/Gnome.png
volume d531f394-5941-46d7-b9ff-0f044f949d43
}

----or-----

menuentry Gnome {
icon EFI/refind/custom_icons/Gnome.png
volume /dev/sda5
}

Neither seem to work. Can this be done?

I can't use EFI because I lose my Nvidia drivers.

Thanks,
Michael

Jesus! Sorry about my spelling on the post title! I would edit it if I could! :)

Custom boot stanzas for BIOS/CSM/legacy-mode booting are not currently possible.

In most cases, it's possible to boot Linux in EFI mode on Macs, so I suggest you look into that. It might work already, provided you install either a separate EFI boot loader on the ESP or the EFI filesystem driver(s) needed to read your kernels (ext4fs, it seems). Installing those drivers might also make the .VolumeIcon.png file work
