I installed the '/MSYS Base System' package only in accordance with steps 6-9, I did not install anything else. / Step 2 'Win-builds Installation' states: 'Run either MSYS or Cygwin according to what you have installed then download yypkg-1.4.0.exe and run it from the. Command-line as.' I interpreted that to mean that I should open a console using the msys.bat file and then from within run yypkg-1.4.0.exe which I will have downloaded to another directory. When I click on C: winbuild msys 1.0 msys.bat I get an error message within the command console: Cannot find the rxvt.exe or sh.exe binary - aborting.
Press any key to continue. I did install 'msys-bash' and then was able to successfully open a console.
Perhaps the instructions should specify to install 'msys-bash' as well as it appears not to be in any default installation. John Thanks, I've added it to the documentation. I'm not sure why it was working before: maybe it used to be selected through dependencies and isn't anymore.

Note: As of refind-efi 0.6.5-1, refind can auto-detect kernels in /boot, if there are UEFI drivers for the filesystem used by /boot partition (or / partition if no separate /boot is used) in the ESP, and are loaded by rEFInd. To enable rEFInd to detect and load the drivers and /boot kernels you must enable the appropriate options in refind.conf ( mainly mention the PATH for the drivers location in the ESP) and also copy your refindlinux.conf to /boot/refindlinux.conf.
So, I assume, you have to copy the ext4 drivers to your ESP and uncomment the line. Hello, I am trying to setup rEFInd to work with kernels I have installed (core and mainline). I am getting error Error: Not Found While Loading vmllinuz-linux. That error indicates that the file vmlinuz-linux isn't present. Chances are this was generated by your manual boot stanza, which as written requires that the file /boot/vmlinuz-linux be installed on a volume called UEFISYS.
Assuming that name is descriptive, this is presumably your ESP, but no such file is present on the ESP. More broadly speaking, you're at least partially set up for two methods of launching Linux, but I suspect that both of these methods is missing at least one critical element:. Manual boot stanzas - As noted, your current manual boot stanzas refer to files on the UEFISYS volume, but they don't seem to be present (assuming 'UEFISYS' is your ESP). You must either copy your kernel and initrd files or specify your root or /boot partition on the 'volume' line (and adjust the path if you've got a separate /boot partition). Auto-detection - rEFInd scans certain locations for boot loaders, including the root (/) directory and the /boot directory of every volume it can read.
Thus, it should pick up a Linux kernel in its natural 'home' if the EFI can read the appropriate filesystem. This conditional is critical. If your kernel is on an ext4 filesystem, for instance, the EFI can't read it unless you install rEFInd's ext4fs driver.
My guess is that you haven't installed such a driver, and so auto-detection is not picking up your kernels and you're only seeing entries for your manual boot stanzas. Installing a suitable filesystem driver will change this if your kernels are in a standard partition (not a RAID or LVM setup) that uses ext2/3/4fs, ReiserFS, or HFS+. In most cases, auto-detection is preferable because it picks up new kernels automatically; however, given the usual Arch naming scheme, either method works. Since rEFInd defaults to doing auto-detection, it's probably still just a little easier to set up, though. In either case, you need to ensure that rEFInd can read the filesystem on which the kernel is stored. You can do this by using drivers or by copying the kernel to the ESP. The latter is easier if you mount the ESP at /boot; but if you're not currently set up that way, you'll need to juggle some files to get that to work.
Sorry for hijacking this thread a little bit, but how do I tell rEFInd to use the 'Arch' logo on bootup if I switch to auto-detection? Background: Out of curiosity I have set my system for auto-detection. This means: - I have deleted /boot/efi/EFI/arch and moved refindlinux.conf to /boot - I have created a directory /boot/efi/EFI/tools/driversx64 and copied the relevant drivers from /usr/lib/refind/driversx64 - I have uncommented the 'scandriversdir' line in refind.conf to look for drivers in /EFI/tools/driversx64 After a reboot rEFInd shows me now the penguin image as boot option. But I would like to use the Arch logo. How do I tell rEFInd to use it?
Ah, and by the way - do I have to change the nvram entry for rEFInd?
