arch linux with refit, wrong refit-booted HD

Sbrizzu · 12-19-2011, 06:20 AM

I've installed Arch linux on my mac mini, and it boots fine when using the arch live cd with the "boot existing os" option. But using rEFIt it doesn't work, it says "missing operating system", this thing is making me crazy. Please help!

Sounds like you don't have grub installed, don't have it configured right, or if that is a UEFI system, did you make a boot partition?

Grub is installed, in fact if I point to the right hdd using the live cd it says: "loading grub" and everything works. I don't want to modify my efi partition, so I don't install the UEFI grub (I've also read that it goes in conflict and makes very bad damages, like needing to reflash the rom). And last, I didn't make a separated boot partition, I install grub directly in the partition, not in the MBR
