Hello friends,
after downloading rEFInd I run the install.sh script and rEFInd found my Arch Linux Distribution and Windowns 8.1 automatically.
Now I want to create an extra entry for Arch Linux.
The example in WIKI looks like:
/boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf
--------------------------------
menuentry "Arch Linux" {
icon /EFI/refind/icons/os_arch.png
volume Boot
loader /boot/vmlinuz-linux
initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img
options "root=PARTUUID=XXXXXXXX rootfstype=XXXX rw add_efi_memmap"
}
I add my special options*, but it does not work for me.
My path to rEFInd: /dev/sda2/EFI/refind/
My Arch Linux partition is /dev/sda5.
After login my sda2 is mounted at /boot/efi/.
Mybe the value of the parameter "volume" is wrong?
amicable Regards
*"ro root=UUID=XXXXXXXX PARTUUID=XXXXXXXX add_efi_memmap drm.vblankoffdelay=1 i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1 i915.modeset=1 i915.semaphores=1 nmi_watchdog=0"

The help that we can provide is to guide you to learn to do it, because the setting are applied there in front of you.
The menu definitions can be found at author's pages Table 2, down in that page.
I'd add some further direction:
icon path to a icon to show in the graphical menu to denote your boot entry
loader path to the executable [1] to be called in
initrd path to the preloaded initial OS to be called in. Usually initramfs-linux.img
options the rest of arguments to pass to the executable [1].
[1] in a normal use the executable is the kernel
The path is by default to the one from which rEFInd is launched. Otherwise use volume definition.
More to know is at the same site, above mentioned.
do it good first, it will be faster than do it twice the saint
