Hi. Hope every one is well & staying safe. I'm a newbie to rEFInd and to this forum so I appologize up front for any faux pas I might make!

I'm hoping someone can help me. As noted in Subject line, rEFInd has disappeared from my computer at bootup. Last week I installed rEFInd succesfully to an iMac so I could live boot Linux and also boot to an external usb drive with Linux installed. Everything worked well for several days. Then something didn't go right, either I had to reboot or the computer rebooted itself, don't remember which.

Opon reboot rEFInd was gone! And, not only is rEFInd gone but now when I hold the Option key for the boot manager and click on the EFI drive to live boot it starts the boot process but will not complete it. It still boots to the macos successfully however.

Any thoughts, or any related questions, on how I can get rEFInd back, or even back to where the EFI boot option works, would be appreciated. What other information can I provide?

Thank you all in advance.
