Installing both Android-x86 and Remix OS: EFS partition entry configuration problem

[Mario Ray Mahardhika]

I Install both Android-x86 6.0-r1 and Remix OS 3.0.204 (should have the same Android-x86 6.0-r1 base, right?), both are working fine (with the exception bluetoothd keeps terminating on Android-x86, but working fine in Remix OS, well that's another issue). Android-x86 is in /dev/sda9 while Remix OS is in /dev/sda10.

However, I realize that only the last one installed are visible in my rEFInd boot menu. I notice that both writes the same directory path in EFS, so I try to edit <efs>/boot/grub/grub.cfg to the following:

set timeout=5

menuentry "Android-x86 6.0-r1" {

search --set=root --file /android-6.0-r1/kernel

linux /android-6.0-r1/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=android_x86_64

initrd /android-6.0-r1/initrd.img

}

menuentry "Android-x86 6.0-r1 (DEBUG mode)" {

search --set=root --file /android-6.0-r1/kernel

linux /android-6.0-r1/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=android_x86_64  DEBUG=2

initrd /android-6.0-r1/initrd.img

}

menuentry "Remix OS 3.0.204" {

  search --set=root --file /RemixOS/kernel

  linux /RemixOS/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=android_x86_64

  initrd /RemixOS/initrd.img

}

menuentry "Remix OS 3.0.204 (DEBUG mode)" {

  search --set=root --file /RemixOS/kernel

  linux /RemixOS/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=android_x86_64  DEBUG=2

  initrd /RemixOS/initrd.img

}

In this case, Android-x86 was the last one installed and I just add Remix OS entry to above file. Android-x86 still boots fine, but Remix OS doesn't. It manages to boot up to the Remix OS logo, but stuck there. Going to the 2nd virtual console, logcat doesn't even work (logcat read failure), dmesg says nothing useful. So I'm looking for advice on how to proceed. Thanks in advance.

androidboot.hardware is wrong.

androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64
(64-bit)

or

androidboot.hardware=remix_x86
(32-bit)

Thanks, that fixes it. There are leftovers in EFI/boot but I'll figure out
what can be removed later. There are even multiple .efi files in its own
directory, all seems to boot the same entry.
