abxnightpilot Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hi, I have a Hackintosh triple boot with Yosemite, Windows 7, and Ubuntu. I wanted to add Linux Mint but when I did, Clover displays only one Linux distribution. When I select that choice it takes me to the Grub boot loader where I can select either distribution. What I want is for Clover to display both Linux distributions independently and avoid the grub boot loader. Any idea how to do this?

Allan Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Where you install Grub? Grub must be installed on the Linux partition, it was installed in the HD, this can cause problems for Clover. Follow this guide: UEFI multi boot with Clover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion71au Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 @abxnightpilot, That happens because Linux Mint uses Ubuntu as its base and grubx64.efi is installed in the folder /EFI/ubuntu when Mint is installed in UEFI mode. You can actually rename the folder /EFI/linuxmint in the EFI partition and get a linux Mint icon instead of the Ubuntu one at the Clover Main Menu . Alternatively, if you want bypass UEFI Grub altogether, you can install VBoxExt4-64.efi in /EFI/CLOVER/drivers64 or /EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI. Clover is then able to directly boot the linux kernel stub (for the newer linux kernels) eg on my desktop with Linux Mint 17.1 installed in UEFI mode: Boot Ubuntu EFI boot menu from EFI ---> runs grubx64.efi to launch Mint Boot vmlinuz from xxxx (Ext 4 / partition name) ---> runs the linux kernel directly to launch Mint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
