Where are drivers located for rEFInd?

  • 772

I am planning to recompile my kernel with EFI Stub support, but currently my Ubuntu installation's partition is formatted with ext4fs.

I have the rEFInd ext4fs driver (ext4_x86.efi) in the refind-bin binary package I downloaded, but where should I put that?

I have installed rEFInd from OS X in my /EFI/refind directory in Mac OS X (I believe that is the main installation directory for refind, correct?). There is no folder there called drivers_x86. Should I create the folder and copy the driver there?

    Given a rEFInd installation on the OS X root partition, you should create the /EFI/refind/drivers_x64 or /EFI/refind/drivers directory and place your 64-bit drivers there. (Note that it's drivers_x64, not drivers_x86. I know that's confusing, but it's the naming convention for EFI -- ia32 for 32-bit x86 and x64 for 64-bit x86-64/AMD64.)
