Hi there, I have a question regarding the boot process of Woody on an IA-64 platform. Where should the kernel images and elilo.* files go?
I have a hp workstation i2000 with 3 HDDs. On the first (/dev/sda) is Windows XP 64-Bit Edition installed. On the second (/dev/sdb) is Debian GNU/Linux Woody installed. On the third (/dev/sdc) is HP-UX 11i v1.5 installed. Current BIOS is 1.17c due to my Itanium processors being C0 stepping. When asking to make the system bootable during the Woody installation process, I choose to install elilo on /dev/sdb1. I can briefly see a efibootmgr error message just before the reboot process starts. At boot up, there's no Debian entry in the EFI menu (might be related to the efibootmgr error I think). So, using the EFI shell, I navigate through fs1:\EFI\debian and manually enter elilo with no luck. I'm given an error about a missing vmlinux file. This path however contains elilo.conf, elilo.efi, README and vmlinuz. Trying to rename vmlinuz to vmlinux doesn't solve the problem. Moving all these files in fs1:\EFI changes nothing but moving them to fs1:\ makes the system bootable. Really stange because in my elilo.conf file, all paths are related to EFI/debian. Any idea what's wrong with elilo and why the boot entry isn't created? I have no problem with other Linux distributions on the same system (Mandrake 8.1, SuSE 7.2, OpenLinux 3.1 or Red Hat 7.x). Thanks.
