So it looks like just the fact that I booted rEFInd from EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi makes it unable to boot Linux. Copy the contents of EFI/boot from the rEFInd USB stick into that folderĪnd that kind-of works: rEFInd boots just like it does from USB stick! But there is a hitch: when I select to proceed with EFI\opensuse\grub圆4.efi, rEFInd freezes on this: Starting grub圆4.efi.rEFInd may still be alive in the boot list and can probably be deleted there. Check the BIOS/UEFI of your PC and look for boot options. Create the EFI/Microsoft/Boot folder on the laptop's EFI partition Re: Completely Remove rEFInd from Linux Mint 19.3 & Windows 10 dual boot.
Searching the web I found that placing whatever boot file as EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi will trick the laptop to boot it. Now I am trying to take USB stick out of the equation. rEFInd is not a boot loader, which is a program that loads an OS kernel and hands off control to it. Like rEFIt, rEFInd is a boot manager, meaning that it presents a menu of options to the user when the computer first starts up, as shown below.
It is designed to be platform-neutral and to simplify booting multiple OSes. rEFInd is a fork of the rEFIt boot manager for computers based on the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) and Unified EFI (UEFI). It is a fork of the no-longer-maintained rEFIt and fixes many issues with respect to non-Mac UEFI booting. It then allows me to select EFI\opensuse\grub圆4.efi and that boots just fine - OpenSUSE runs no problem. rEFInd is a UEFI boot manager capable of launching EFISTUB kernels. The only way I can achieve this so far is by first booting rEFInd from USB stick. I have installed OpenSUSE 15 on Acer Aspire ES1-132 (which is infamous for being reluctant to run anything but Windows 10) and now trying to boot it.
