Booting the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Operating System

You can boot the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system on HP Integrity servers using either of
these methods:
Choose a Red Hat Enterprise Linux entry from the EFI Boot Manager menu.
To load the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system at the EFI Boot Manager menu, choose
its entry from the list of boot options.
Choosing a Linux entry from the boot options list boots the operating system using ELILO.EFI
loader and the elilo.conf file.
Initiate the ELILO.EFI Linux loader from the EFI Shell.
For details, see
On a Red Hat Enterprise Linux boot device EFI System Partition, the full paths to the loader
and configuration files are as follows: \EFI\redhat\elilo.efi and
\EFI\redhat\elilo.conf
After choosing the file system for the boot device (for example, fs0:) initiate the Linux loader
from the EFI Shell prompt by entering the full path for the ELILO.EFI loader.
By default the ELILO.EFI loader boots Linux using the kernel image and parameters specified
by the default entry in the elilo.conf file on the EFI System Partition for the boot device.
To interact with the ELILO.EFI loader, interrupt the boot process (for example, enter a space) at
the ELILO boot prompt. To exit the ELILO.EFI loader, use the exit command.

Booting Red Hat Enterprise Linux from the EFI Shell

To boot Red Hat Enterprise Linux from the EFI Shell:
1. Access the EFI Shell.
From the system console, choose the EFI Shell entry from the EFI Boot Manager menu to access
the shell.
2. Access the EFI System Partition for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux boot device.
Use the map EFI Shell command to list the file systems (fs0, fs1, and so on) that are known
and mapped.
To choose a file system to use, enter its mapped name followed by a colon (:). For example,
to operate with the boot device that is mapped as fs3, enter fs3: at the EFI Shell prompt.
