Oct 2, 2016 at 15:33 comment added tomasb @goldilocks yes it is very useful, perfect starting point for me makes me at least understand a little, just a pity there is no working solution around nowadays but no problem a solution will occur sooner or later thank you :)
Oct 2, 2016 at 15:29 comment added goldilocks @tomasb I suggest you ask another question. This was written more than two years ago, and while I recall putting a lot of effort into it and believe it contains some useful information that has helped has people some people since then, I'm actually not much of a windows user and currently don't have any UEFI/GPT systems with it installed.
Oct 2, 2016 at 15:20 comment added tomasb @goldilocks the drivemap command throws error like unknown command at boot time, have any tip around that? also I wonder how can the windows path (mount point in linux) work at boot time, there is another error for me related to it, no windows boot found at boot time, uuid not working too, have error no device 'XXXXXX' found, using Mint 18

Mar 15, 2016 at 16:38 comment added goldilocks @Sardathrion Thx, I think the "chainload" thing was just a typo.
Mar 15, 2016 at 16:32 comment added Sardathrion - against SE abuse This looked so promising... I am getting ntfs,.mod not found errors when I try it. Also, the chainload should be chainloader for Fedora 23. More details here if that helps.
May 18, 2015 at 6:02 comment added sobek I'm starting to feel a bit stupid now as i realized my Windows partition must be MBR based, not GPT. Sorry i wasted your time.
May 18, 2015 at 2:36 comment added goldilocks @sobek Thanks for that -- corrected. If you've added something to a file in /etc/grub.d and it is not being added when you generate the configuration, something weird is going on. If you run grub-mkconfig without -o it spits to standard out, that might help confirm or deny that your additions are being processed.

May 17, 2015 at 20:39 comment added sobek Very nice! However when i try this, my Windows 8 install will not appear as an entry in grub2. I've fixed all syntax errors and the grub.cfg file is created without errors. Also please note that there is a syntax error when chainload is first mentioned: chainload $({root}) should be chainload (${root}) (i can't edit it because it's too small of a change).
May 1, 2015 at 22:57 comment added FlogFR on my desktop, "chain" is unfound as a command while booting, but it's chainloader in the 40_custom file I need to write. let me know if this is normal
Jan 27, 2015 at 11:35 comment added Kylotan Unfortunately firmware also has a much more general meaning in that it refers to any software that is embedded into hardware.

Sep 12, 2014 at 12:29 comment added Milind R The technically correct term that you're looking for, which is also not clunky, is firmware, which can present itself either as BIOS or as UEFI.
