Thanks. Will have a look later. Please try to follow what is written/requested. I have just deleted the log contents you pasted as although the template asks that you should not directly paste such logs and only attach them, you have instead attached and pasted!

[dakanji]

Please temporarily rename your current RefindPlus efi, replace with the attached file, and share the log produced after trying to boot this. X262-BOOTx64-NPT.zip

Please attach the log and do not paste. Also, this does a lot of logging so give it extra time before stopping it.

Thanks

I am sorry but I haven't understood.

Should I download that .zip and use files into to try and catch a log?

Correct.

I wait several minutes.

But the log…,I don't know how to express.

[dakanji]

You complained elsewhere about having a config file that is too long but a big chunk of the length is made up of default manual stanzas that should be removed.

Note that having them with disabled does not mean they are not processed, especially when the disabled line is the last one in the stanza and not the first item as advised in the readme here (I suppose no one ever reads a README)

So, either remove all the disabled manual stanza (best option) or move the disabled line to be the first thing in the stanza. Rerun the file and attach the log file after this.

The current log has too much junk info from those stanzas.

Thanks

But all is into config.conf . There is no any "include abcd.conf" into config.conf.

Other .conf files have not been included into config.conf .

I didn't think it support muti-include by misunderstanding, two days ago.

So I edit refind.conf-sample, and then rename it "config.conf", only one config without any secondary files included.

[dakanji]

I wasn't referring to that other issue but to this

I edit refind.conf-sample

You left the all the sample manual stanza all there but you should handle them in one of the ways I outlined in my previous post.

That is, either remove them or put the disabled line in each as the first thing in each stanza (not the last thing as in the conf-sample ... this is explained in the readme here if you have read that).

Basically, only your own active manual stanzas should ideally be present and all the example ones removed.

[1457384613gh]

Thank you for your patience! I will try.

I have deleted many words behind "#". The config.conf is shorter, now. But it still, I don't know how to express.

[dakanji]

The important things were the unused/disabled menuentry stanzas items.

There seems to be a memory conflict and this results in a hang. Please try the attached X263 file and attach the log to better understand the issue. X263-BOOTx64-NPT.zip

[1457384613gh]

Thank you for your patience! I will try.

By the way, why do you have so many .efifiles? Is it easy for you to package an .efi files?

[dakanji]

These are test builds. See the readme for a link to instructions on building RefindPlus.

Please try X264 and share the log: X264-BOOTx64-NPT.zip

Thanks

What I think is that what you can help me is more than I can help you so who should say "Thanks" is me.

[dakanji]

The issue seems to be linked to submenuentry. Can you delete all these submenu entries and rerun with the X264 file?

That is, leave the menuentry items but delete subsequently sections, test the file and share the log.

Thanks

It shows logs after around ten seconds this time.

And icons looks smaller than that looked from rEFInd.

And the [selection-small] is not what I have set. Black shadow.

[dakanji]

That gives the first definitive pointer to the issue. Will take a proper look later

[dakanji]

Please restore the submenuentry items, run the attached X265 file and share the log X265-BOOTx64-NPT.zip

config.conf.txt

[dakanji]

Thanks. Please try X266 on the same basis X266-BOOTx64-NPT.zip

[1457384613gh]

23b16g5030.log

Maybe something wrong around "add_options"

[dakanji]

Please try X267 on the same basis X267-BOOTx64-NPT.zip

[dakanji]

Getting warmer ... Please try X268 --REMOVED--

[1457384613gh]

I will try tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

[dakanji]

Nevermind. It hangs as well but know where the issue starts. I will push a fix presently.

You can temporarily convert the SubMenuEntries to standalone MenuEntries as a workaround

[1457384613gh]

I am going to download X268. Where to download?

[dakanji]

Refer to my previous. No need for any further tests at this time.

[1457384613gh]

So you are testing and trying to fix?

[dakanji]

Yes, but you only needed to read what I referred you to before to have seen this!

... know where the issue starts. I will push a fix presently.

[1457384613gh]

Where can I download to try? Actions or pre-release?

[dakanji]

You need to build the codebase. There is a link to build instructions in the ReadMe for this repo.

[1457384613gh]

It is so easy for you, but difficult for me.😭😭😭😭😭😭 Could you give me a pre-release here for testing?

[dakanji]

If unable/unwilling to build, you will need to wait until release which will be whenever the codebase is deemed ready.
