How can one prevent to get /boot partition formatted with 64bit flag on MAC hardware resulted in non-bootable system on dual boot MAC+RHEL7?
Issue
- On already installed MAC OSX, installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (dual boot) using mactel-boot which is not supported by Red Hat but helps to get Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 installed on MAC hardware using HFS+ filesystem.
- The RHEL7 installer has formatted the ext4 partitions with the
-o Feature Flag
64bit withmk2fs
. - This flag can prevent certain boot loaders (like
rEFInd
) from reading the partition as theext4
driver cannot cope. - How can one prevent that and how can this get worked and bootable?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
- MAC hardware
