thank you for the recent question and answers about UEFI booting. :) a while ago my motherboard and/or CPU fried and i had to replace them and about the same time a grub update came through so i'm not sure which happened and what changed but my Debian Testing setup stopped booting to refind menu and went back to grub.
i had not removed grub so i'm thinking that the testing version of grub did get updated and generated a new bios entry or something which overwrote what was there before that was being used by refind. a simple reinstall of refind did not fix it. with the talk of efibootmgr i was able to look at what was there and no mention of the directory or entry of refind was showing up in the bios. i created a new entry in the list by using the following command: # efibootmgr -c -L Debian_Refind -l "\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI" and that restored the working refind boot as it used to show up. yay! root@ant(1)~# efibootmgr -v BootCurrent: 0000 Timeout: 1 seconds BootOrder: 0000,0001 Boot0000* Debian_Refind HD(1,GPT,blabla,0x800,0x1dc800)/File(\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI) Boot0001* debian HD(1,GPT,blabla,0x800,0x1dc800)/File(\EFI\DEBIAN\GRUBX64.EFI) thanks! :) songbird
