Oct 23, 2014 1 40 409639 EFI System (FAT) REFIND tools. 2 461023 Mac OS X HFS+ Mac partition. 3 154030559 Mac OS X Boot update, used to start MAC boot. Oct 21, 2012 So I just gave up, opened my Macbook, got the Superdrive back in place, burned the iso on CD, booted holding the C key (no need for rEFIt/rEFInd) and after 10 seconds from Boot I had the new firmware running, gave it a test/check on sysPref. Then turn off again, open, remove superdrive, put caddy/HDD back, close, assemble superdrive on its.
A extensive report already written is in the Ubuntu stacks as
Basically you need to follow http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/yosemite.html
wherein it explains that Yosemite is using a new LVM bootup from within the Recovery Partitions 10.10.
This messes up REFIT/REFIND tools which have previously installed Partition 1.S
See my current Table below , wherein << are my comments
Current GPT partition table:
# Start LBA End LBA Type
1 40 409639 EFI System (FAT) << old preferred site for REFIT/REFIND tools
2 409640 154061023 Mac OS X HFS+ << main Mac partition
3 154061024 155330559 Mac OS X Boot << Recovery 10.10 , installed by Yosemite update, used to start MAC boot. BUT is not shown by Disk Utility, to prevent its naive deletion which would kill the MAC boot.
4 155330560 156598271 Mac OS X HFS+ << old Recovery 10.9, simply retained
5 157869786 228772129 Unknown << My Ubuntu partition
Free audio cleaning software mac free. 6 228772130 236765969 Linux Swap << which was shortened by 200 MB to make room for 7)
![Fix refind after software update mac pro Fix refind after software update mac pro](/uploads/1/3/3/8/133880585/920027310.jpg)
7 236765970 236974814 Mac OS X HFS+ << installation site of REFIND. Though 4) could have been used, there is a possibility that Apple might have future plans for this small 4) partition.
With 7) created (see detail below), my REFIND install command under MAC, within Downloads/refind-bin-0.8.3/ was:
sudo ./install.sh --alldrivers --ownhfs /dev/disk0s7
There was still required the edit if refind.conf.sample specified in Yosemite.html, which I named refind.conf.edit1
This was copied with:
sudo cp refind.conf.edit1 /Volumes/macefi/System/Library/CoreServices/refind.conf
macefi is my name for the MAC /dev/disk0s7 mount point, equivalent to /dev/sda7 under Linux
CAREFULLY do read Yosemite.html, as the instructions here are too terse by themselves!!!!
There are 2 routes to boot Ubuntu, and then creat 7) with GPARTED
a) If you can access the GRUB shell under an old REFIT/REFIND installation, partitions will be shown by:
grub> ls
Presence of a Linux file system can be confirmed by a command like:
grub> ls (hd0,gpt5)/
Output of
grub > ls (hd0,gpt5)/boot/grub/
should include a grub.cfg file. Then you can boot as usual with
grub > configfile (hd0,gpt5)/boot/grub/grub.cfg
After boot up, start GPARTED
b) Alternatively boot with the Ubuntu install disk, and choose the Demo option
Open a text console, and get admin proviledge with:
$ sudo su
# gparted
Using GPARTED, unmount if necessary any terminal SWAP partition, such as my 6) above
Then shrink the SWAP partition end by a trivial 200 MB, https://brownalerts885.weebly.com/editing-software-on-a-mac.html.
Create a HFS+ partition in like my 7) for a coming REFIND installation
Note, that a file /etc/fstab contains a SWAP partition specification, which should be edited for automated SWAP start.
# sudo blkid /dev/sda7 Add remove apps on mac computer.
will report the SWAP space specs LONG uuid code. This can be copied into memory by dragging the mouse over the uuid
Then SHIFT-CONTROL-C will copy it into memory. Start an edit with:
Fix Refind After Software Update Mac Pro
$ sudo nano /etc/fstab
delete the old swap uuid, and paste in the replacement with
SHIFT-CONTROl-V
and swap should mount upon reboot, or with:
$ sudo swapon -a
Check with:
Install Refind
$ free
which should report none-zero swap space.
