Booting Suse Linux Enterprise Server - HP Rp7410 - Server - 0 MB RAM Administrator's Manual

Choosing a Linux entry from the boot options list boots the OS using ELILO.EFI loader
and the elilo.conf file.
• Initiate the ELILO.EFI Linux loader from the EFI Shell.
Refer to the procedure
On a Red Hat Enterprise Linux boot device EFI System Partition, the full paths to the loader
and configuration files are:
\EFI\redhat\elilo.efi
\EFI\redhat\elilo.conf
After choosing the file system for the boot device (for example, fs0:) you can 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, type a space)
at the ELILO boot prompt. To exit the ELILO.EFI loader, use the exit command.
Procedure 5-23 Booting Red Hat Enterprise Linux (EFI Shell)
Use this procedure to boot Red Hat Enterprise Linux from the EFI Shell.
Refer to "ACPI Configuration for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Must Be single-pci-domain or default"
(page 131) for required configuration details.
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 have been 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.
3. Enter ELILO at the EFI Shell command prompt to launch the ELILO.EFI loader.
If needed, you can specify the loader's full path by entering \EFI\redhat\elilo at the
EFI Shell command prompt.
4. Allow the ELILO.EFI loader to proceed with booting the Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel.
By default, the ELILO.EFI loader boots the kernel image and options specified by the
default item in the elilo.conf file.
To interact with the ELILO.EFI loader, interrupt the boot process (for example, type a
space) at the ELILO boot prompt. To exit the loader, use the exit command.
