Morning folks
SO new install of 14.2 and recently updated.
I usually use ELILO and never had a problem but I was reading somewhere about rEFInd, so I looked up the documentation at
https://docs.slackware.com/howtos:sl...d_on_slackware which worked a treat.
I downloaded rEFInd from slackbuilds, and went through the process of installing.
After I installed i navigated to and ran /usr/share/refind**/refind-install.sh
I assume this had put in default entries.
I proceeded to edit /boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf
I commented out the entries relating to Ubuntu,Arch os as they were examples
The only other bit i edited before the menu entries was the resolution, the rest is default.
My rEFInd menu entries look like, the reason why ELILO entry is their as I didnt want to break anything and needed a working system, this I will remove soon.
Code:
menuentry "Slackware 14.2 via ELILO"{
icon EFI/refind/icons/os_slackware.png
loader EFI/Slackware/elilo.efi
}
menuentry "Slackware 14.2 via rEFInd"{
icon EFI/refind/icons/os_slackware.png
volume d3d8008a-33ec-4f9a-8c2a-f210547f95d1
loader /EFI/Slackware/vmlinuz-generic-4.4.172
initrd EFI/Slackware/initrd.gz
}
When I restarted the computer, rEFInd worked a treat, I can select and both work the entries above... But their is also 2 other entries, for which I think were created when i ran the install script. These entries are not listed in refind.conf so I am unable to remove them. The entries are almost identical to the 2 I made above, I am unsure where else to look for these entries, any help appreciated. Cheers
Code:
ls /boot/efi/EFI/
Slackware/ refind/ tools/
Code:
/boot# ls /boot/efi/EFI/Slackware/
elilo.conf* elilo.conf~* elilo.efi* initrd.gz* vmlinuz-generic-4.4.172*
Code:
/boot# ls /boot/efi/EFI/refind/
BOOT.CSV* drivers_x64/ icons/ keys/ refind.conf* refind.conf~* refind_x64.efi*
