1# os-probe for the Haiku Computer Operating System 2 3This is the Linux "os-probes" file to detect Haiku OS and to automatically add 4it to the GRUB boot menu. 5 6First make sure the Haiku volumes you want to boot are mounted in Linux 7(otherwise nothing gets detected). Then copy the 83haiku file to your Linux 8system in the os-probes subdirectory, usually (in Fedora at least) it will be 9/usr/libexec/os-probes/mounted/83haiku You can find older 83haiku versions in 10the repository history, though the latest should be able to detect older 11(pre-package manager) Haiku too. 12 13Then regenerate the GRUB boot configuration file. This will happen 14automatically the next time your kernel is updated. To do it manually, 15for old school MBR BIOS boot computers, the command is 16`grub2-mkconfig --output /boot/grub2/grub.cfg` 17 18Computers using the newer UEFI boot system have a EFI/HAIKU/BOOTX64.EFI file 19that you manually install to your EFI partition, and booting is done 20differently, so you don't need this 83Haiku file for them. See 21[UEFI Booting Haiku](https://www.haiku-os.org/guides/uefi_booting/) instead. 22 23The original seems to have come from Debian and was written by François Revol. 24It's in the 25[Debian os-prober package](https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=os-prober). 26There's also a big discussion about updating it in 27[Debian Bug Report #732696](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=732696). 28 29_AGMS20210921_ 30 31
