Re: [Xen-ia64-devel] Re: [Xen-users] XEN on machines with EFI

Hello!

Yes, I understood! I think that the EFI isn`t more my problem! :)
I`m with problems to create my "initrd"!

# mkinitrd -o /boot/efi/efi/debian/initrd-2.6.16.13-xen0.img 2.6.16.13-xen0
find: /lib/modules/2.6.16.13-xen0/kernel/drivers: No such file or directory
find: /lib/modules/2.6.16.13-xen0/kernel/drivers: No such file or directory
find: /lib/modules/2.6.16.13-xen0/kernel/drivers: No such file or directory
.
.
.

Any help?
Thanks!

You should modify your elilo.conf first and make default option to point xen(for example)  as  the following lines:

prompt

timeout=5

default=xen                   --à not linux

relocatable

 

image=vmlinuz-2.6.9-22.EL

    label=linux

    initrd=initrd-2.6.9-22.EL.img

    read-only

    append="root=/dev/sda3 console=tty0 console=ttyS1,57600,8n1"

 

image=vmlinuz-2.6-xen0

    label=xen

    vmm=xen.gz

    initrd=initrd-2.6.12-xen0.img

    read-only

    append="com2=57600,8n1 console=com2 sched=bvt   dom0_mem=1024M -- nomca  console=tty0 console=ttyS1,57600,8n1 root=/dev/sda3"

Is it clear ?

Thanks

Hello! :)

So, I mounted the EFI partition and copied the "elilo-3.6-ia64.efi" there!
I tried to run it on the EFI shell:
fs0:/EFI/debian>elilo-3.6-ia64.efi
(here my kernel was loaded normally and the elilo wasn`t updated!)

Any specific command to install the "elilo-3.6-ia64.efi" in the EFI shell?

Thanks!

Hi, Rodrigo

You should not run new elilo.efi on bash.

You should install new elilo.efi into /boot/efi of vfat filesystem.
And you should run it on EFI shell.

In the case of RHEL, we install it into /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/ .

Best Regards,

Akio Takebe
