Package: elilo
Version: ia64 testing installer (Aug 11, 2005)

Would it be possible to use the elilo relocatable option by default for
ia64?  SGI Altix and Prism boxes all require it.  Relocatable support
can be enabled with the '-r' option at the elilo boot line, or with the
"relocatable" global option in elilo.conf.

Without it, booting the ia64 installer (Aug 11, 2005 testing) looks
like:

----------
Uncompressing Linux... alloc.c(line 132):allocator: AllocatePages(2, 2, 1832, 
0x4000000) failed (Not Found)

gzip.c(line 436):gzip_ia64 : AllocatePages(1832, 0x4000000) for kernel
failed

gzip.c(line 439):relocation is disabled, cannot load kernel
gzip.c(line 594):gzip_ia64 : invalid exec header
Exit status code: Load Error

fs0:\efi\boot>
----------

Booting it with 'bootia64 -r' works fine.

As a reference point, SuSE SLES9, Red Hat RHEL4 and Fedora-devel all
turn on the relocatable option by default for ia64.
