[gentoo-user] EFI Boot Gentoo DVD-Live amd64 und HP-EFI-Bios
Hi, If eyeverone has an experience with that. I can boot in EFI Mode and install some other Linux distros on my Hp8440p . And I will do the same for Gentoo, but until today I cannot do that, or exactly only in legacy-boot. And this is perturbing my GPT Partition Table... I guess that actually it should not be a big problem. I tried with the IA64 and the hp-efi-bios sees the elilo.efi , but it cannot boot this kernel.. normal.. But with the amd64, i should be able to see the elilo.efi. The dvd or mimnimalcd install cannot boot the gentoo.efimg Image. Or am I false ? What is missing in the DVD-Live or Minimal CD Install to boot correctly in EFI Mode ? The path /boot/efi/ is missing ... like one of the working other distro... Thank you very much.. Claude

Hi, Thank. With the last SytemRescueCD (copied to an usb-stick) my efi bios see that the usb-stick coulb be efi-bootable. I see both HD and the USB Devices in my EFI Navigator.. I can navigate within the SystemRescueCD trough my EFI FileSystem Navigator . I cannot boot on this usb (open an .efi file), however. Now I will check the files needed which was wrotten in my usb. I guess that I must transfer the Gentoo 2012 dvd Image file to my usb stick...but i dont know exact. I see an old procedure to put a cd into an usb ...but i am not sure if it is same about to Gento 2012.. Or I must change the DVD Gentoo 2012 ISO Image (or an old version) to includes an efi-able boot sector ... but i dont know how to rebuild the iso image from a file system which includes the right dvd boot sector.

They have, or at least they've stopped financing it, so it will be purely community supported now, but they haven't unmade the discs that are already out there :) -- Neil Bothwick Press every key to continue. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
