Version 0.8.4 of rEFInd changes both install.sh and the rEFInd defaults to bypass these problems. Thanks, Apple, for making it to distinguish between your recovery boot loader and your regular boot loader!
Thus, fixing the first problem results in rEFInd working but not detecting the Yosemite installation.
Because I'd gotten many complaints about the recovery system showing up in the main menu list, I coded rEFInd to ignore the contents of this volume by default. Second, Apple seems to be placing its standard boot loader for this type of configuration on the Recovery HD volume, which had previously been used for (as the name suggests) recovery tools (and also for the regular boot loader when the main partition was encrypted). The EFI built into the computer can't read from LVM, so an installation of rEFInd on the OS X root ( /) partition, which is the default when you install rEFInd 0.8.3 and earlier using install.sh, is rendered useless. There are two main problems.įirst, Yosemite now uses a type of logical volume management (LVM). Unfortunately, my only Mac is an ancient 32-bit model that can't run the latest version, so I can't investigate the cause of the problems myself however, I think I understand most of what's going on. Recently, Apple released OS X 10.10 (aka Yosemite), and I've been getting e-mails with problem reports. If a Web search has brought you here, you may want to start at the main page. This page is part of the documentation for the rEFInd boot manager. I'm leaving this page in place for the benefit of those who might be running earlier versions of rEFInd with Yosemite, as well as for general educational purposes. This version of rEFInd makes changes to both its install.sh script and default options to make rEFInd better able to cope with OS X 10.10 without the changes to procedure described herein. This page is largely obsolete, as of rEFInd 0.8.4. If you find this Web page useful, please consider making a small donation to help keep this site up and running. This Web page is provided free of charge and with no annoying outside ads however, I did take time to prepare it, and Web hosting does cost money.
