Because of a two-steps deep problem, I need to boot into an EFI shell and run gptsync
. I downloaded the flashdrive binaries of rEFInd 0.7.4, used dd
to write the image to a thumbdrive, and it seems to boot fine. However, when I select the little shell icon to boot, it flashes to the shell UI and hangs with the following text on the screen:
Starting shellx64.efi
Using load options ''
And that's it. Am I supposed to configure something to get the shell working?
It should be working now; however, I altered some details of how rEFInd launches EFI binaries with version 0.7.4 to fix some problems. (I'm rEFInd's author.) It's conceivable that these changes are causing problems for you. Thus, I recommend you try version 0.7.3 and report back. If 0.7.3 works, I'll look into re-revising the launch process to work around the problem. – Rod Smith – 2013-09-11T21:48:40.477
1I tried with 0.7.3 with the only change being this line:
Using load options ' '
