# os-probe for the Haiku Computer Operating System
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the Linux "os-probes" file to detect Haiku OS and to automatically add
|
||
|
|
it to the GRUB boot menu.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First make sure the Haiku volumes you want to boot are mounted in Linux
|
||
|
|
(otherwise nothing gets detected). Then copy the 83haiku file to your Linux
|
||
|
|
system in the os-probes subdirectory, usually (in Fedora at least) it will be
|
||
|
|
/usr/libexec/os-probes/mounted/83haiku You can find older 83haiku versions in
|
||
|
|
the repository history, though the latest should be able to detect older
|
||
|
|
(pre-package manager) Haiku too.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then regenerate the GRUB boot configuration file. This will happen
|
||
|
|
automatically the next time your kernel is updated. To do it manually,
|
||
|
|
for old school MBR BIOS boot computers, the command is
|
||
|
|
`grub2-mkconfig --output /boot/grub2/grub.cfg`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Computers using the newer UEFI boot system have a EFI/HAIKU/BOOTX64.EFI file
|
||
|
|
that you manually install to your EFI partition, and booting is done
|
||
|
|
differently, so you don't need this 83Haiku file for them. See
|
||
|
|
[UEFI Booting Haiku](https://www.haiku-os.org/guides/uefi_booting/) instead.

The original seems to have come from Debian and was written by François Revol.
|
||
|
|
It's in the
|
||
|
|
[Debian os-prober package](https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=os-prober).
|
||
|
|
There's also a big discussion about updating it in
|
||
|
|
[Debian Bug Report #732696](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=732696).
