---------
|

- Build the kernel with the following configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
- Build the kernel with the following configuration::
|
||||
|
||||
CONFIG_FB_EFI=y
|
||||
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
|
||||
|
||||
If EFI runtime services are expected, the following configuration should
|
||||
be selected.
|
||||
be selected::
|
||||
|
||||
CONFIG_EFI=y
|
||||
CONFIG_EFI_VARS=y or m # optional
|
||||
|
||||
- Create a VFAT partition on the disk
|
||||
- Copy the following to the VFAT partition:
|
||||
|
||||
elilo bootloader with x86_64 support, elilo configuration file,
|
||||
kernel image built in first step and corresponding
|
||||
initrd. Instructions on building elilo and its dependencies
|
||||
can be found in the elilo sourceforge project.
|
||||
|
||||
- Boot to EFI shell and invoke elilo choosing the kernel image built
|
||||
in first step.
|
||||
- If some or all EFI runtime services don't work, you can try following
|
||||
kernel command line parameters to turn off some or all EFI runtime
|
||||
services.
|
||||
noefi turn off all EFI runtime services
|
||||
reboot_type=k turn off EFI reboot runtime service
|
||||
|
||||
noefi
|
||||
turn off all EFI runtime services
|
||||
reboot_type=k
|
||||
turn off EFI reboot runtime service
|
||||
|
||||
- If the EFI memory map has additional entries not in the E820 map,
|
||||
you can include those entries in the kernels memory map of available
|
||||
physical RAM by using the following kernel command line parameter.
|
||||
add_efi_memmap include EFI memory map of available physical RAM
|
||||
|
||||
add_efi_memmap
|
||||
include EFI memory map of available physical RAM
