The problem is, that i wasn't able to produce a working elilo.efi files with my gentoo toolchain. the files elilo-3.8.efi provided by the elilo project also doesn't work (gives a load error from the efi runtime). So i guess i'm stuck here. It should be noted somewhere that with Huangs patches, elilo version 3.8 is needed. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
