- 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, and 3.0s, with the caveat that 3.0s works when I installed it via
- a Gentoo package, but not when I installed it by compiling the source
- code locally. 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.
