have a look at this discussion thread, may be applicable to your situation. A patch for x86_64 is being considered but Ive not yet had time to test it. and if I intake it i'll port it to ia32 as well. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=88e91b480812011526ifa9cb8dp213b5e469e87386c%40mail.gmail.com&forum_name=elilo-discuss > > Here comes my questions: > > Q1: Why does elilo fail when BS->ExitBootServices is called? most likely the elilo memory usage issue especially with a large initrd. > > Q2: Can EFI Linux Kernel support for IA32 chipsets? or only support > for IA64,Itanium, ... yes all current efi platforms although ia32 and x86_64 are pretty new in terms of having actual efi platforms to run on and bugs are showing up. ia64 has been baked for some time of course being the first efi platform and the original need for elilo's existence. > > Q3: Has anyone known the differences between IA32 and Itanium in > supporting for EFI Linux Kernel? yes, the elilo ia64 has a kernel relocatable option that was built in around the 2.5 kernel days when the kernel no longer required to be loaded at the specific 1mb physical address. this option doesnt exist in the ia32 and x86_64 branches and elilo got away with the hardcoded kernel start address until now. -jason > > Any help will be greatly appreciated. you may find some help from the Apple boards who have been using elilo-3.6 with some community patches to run linux on intel ia32 Mac's with rEFIt. http://sourceforge.net/projects/refit/ > > ______________________________________________________________________ > 这里有每天最新鲜最全面的资讯，还有很多美图呢！ 立即查看！ > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > This SF.net email is sponsored by: > SourcForge Community > SourceForge wants to tell your story. > http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword > _______________________________________________ elilo-discuss mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/elilo-discuss -- ___________________________________ JASON FLEISCHLI HP - Alliances, Linux, & Performance Solutions Ft.
