Is it possible for me to run and boot my Linux distro from an SD-card when dualbooting on a chromebook? I’ve installed Linux on it, but it doesn’t show up in the boot menu. Is there any way to make my computer recognise it as a viable boot option?
probably not. Might help if you told us what device (board name!!!) you are using
I think I figured it out! It was listed under eMMC, even though it is not embedded into the motherboard and I always thought eMMC was embedded SD storage. Now I do have to figure out how to delete the installation of Linux on my main disk and revert the partitions to just having one partition. I’ll probably have to create a new topic for that, unless you might know exactly how I’d do that…
Wrestling with the same issue on a Acer C871 that does not “see” the SD in EFI, only the built-in storage listing it as emmc. Since the bios cant see it grub can’t either, thus not bootable. As far as I understand not all bioses have drivers or config for SD-card readers.
There might be a way by some clever hacky stuff with grub, making it load a linux kernel and jumping back into grub, I am not sure.
Or, using a custom bootloader such as Clover.
Either way, a kind of daisy chaining. I am sure it possible, but requires a bit of thinkering.
no, it’s simply that the SD drivers in edk2 aren’t recognizing the hardware or card presence

Darn it, okay, there goes my hopes I could somehow cobble something together. Thanks for the input tho!
