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. Mostly relevant for x86 BIOS based computers. 5 6Copy the 83haiku file to your Linux system in the os-probes subdirectory, 7usually (in Fedora at least) it will be /usr/libexec/os-probes/mounted/83haiku 8You can find older 83haiku versions in the repository history, though the 9latest should be able to detect older (pre-package manager) Haiku too. 10 11Then regenerate the GRUB boot configuration file. This will happen 12automatically the next time your kernel is updated. To do it manually, 13for old school MBR BIOS boot computers, the command is 14`grub2-mkconfig --output /boot/grub2/grub.cfg` 15If it doesn't find the Haiku partitions, try manually mounting them in Linux 16and rerun the grub command. 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 Fran��ois 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). 28Latest version is now at https://git.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/3rdparty/os_probe 29 30_AGMS20210927_ 31
