This is a triple-boot PC. Drive 1: EFI, Fedora, Windows 10 Drive 2: Fedora-Rawhide (No EFI on this disk. I deleted it.) I have a custom banner. No custom stanzas. All operating systems auto-detect just fine. It's a small but annoying problem. The banner loads three times before the icons appear. Thoughts?

On my 2011 MacBook Pro, I've suddenly lost ability to EFI boot two separate Linux partitions. I can still boot via grub. The two Linux distros on the same drive: Ubuntu and Deepin, both of which have booted just fine via EFI for many months. Suddenly, they have BOTH stopped. I rarely boot into Deepin so there have been no recent updates. Ubuntu gets updated every couple days. So I asked myself what to they share? Refind, the Mac's pram. I reinstalled refind and used the default config. I zapped the...

UPDATE: I used a fresh copy of refind.conf and the problem is still there, which I guess is somewhat reassuring that the problem is NOT in the menuentry stanza. refind locates both /EFI/ubuntu and /EFI/kubuntu and even applies the correct icons, but selecting kubuntu boots ubuntu. At this point, I'm wondering is some info gets written to grubx64.efi since the one in kubuntu is a copy of the one from ubuntu.

So why don't these menuentries work? It seems pretty straight ahead to me. On EFI, I have an ubuntu folder and a kubuntu folder. Each folder has a grub.cfg and a grubx64.efi Ubuntu on partition 4 Kubuntu on partition 5 Yet when I select kubuntu, I get ubuntu. Any thoughts? # refind.conf #### Gnome Entry ##### menuentry "Gnome-Intel" { volume Gnome loader /EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi icon /EFI/refind/custom_icons/Gnome.png } #### KDE Entry ##### menuentry "KDE-Intel" { volume /dev/sda5 loader /EFI/kubuntu/grubx64.efi...

I've had a solidly working system for about a year. This week I deleted some partitions on my drive changing the Ubuntu root from /dev/sdb6 to /dev/sdb4. After booting from a live CD and fixed grub. So far so good, but I also like to boot via EFI right to the kernel because it's faster and has better supports my AMD graphics. Because the UUID didn't change, refind_linux.conf didn't need any revisions. On the EFI partition, I editied /EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg from hd1,gpt6 to hd1,gpt4 And everyhting worked......

Ahhhh.... I missed that requirement of hidden_tags in showtools. Now it works as advertised. :) My triple-boot MacBook Pro is now humming along like an Indy race car. Thanks again for the help.

Hi (again) mfvianna. Unfortunately, I have a Mac so the minus-sign/delete key thing doesn't work. Under dont_scan_volumes, I've tried many different syntaxes - the volume name, the UUID, the device path, all without success. Any tips? For example, given the following, what's the correct dont_scan_volumes entry: Vol name = Windows10 Device = dont_scan_volumes UUID = A836510E3650DF3E The documentation states that getting rid of legacy volumes is a tricky thing, and may not always work. If that's the...
