- features that were added in (I think) 3.0l to provide driver-loading
- capabilities. The versions I've used and that work are 3.0p, 3.0q,
- 3.0r, 3.0s, and 3.0u, with a caveat: The new time-sensitive
- default_selection feature causes rEFInd to hang when using 3.0s and
- earlier. 3.0u works fine for this (tested with compilation on three
- computers). I don't know if 3.0t would work. Through mid-to-late 2012,
- most Linux distributions delivered rather elderly versions of GNU-EFI,
- but many are catching up by late 2012. You should check your GNU-EFI
- version number; you may need to download the latest source code,
- compile it, and install it locally. Between rEFInd version 0.2.7 and
- 0.6.1, the Makefiles assumed a locally-compiled GNU-EFI package, but
- older and more recent versions assume GNU-EFI installation in typical
- locations for distribution-provided packages. The legacy BIOS boot
- support on UEFI-based PCs doesn't work when rEFInd is compiled under
- GNU-EFI, so as of rEFInd 0.4.6, GNU-EFI is no longer the primary build
- environment, although it's easier to set up on a Linux system.
