Booting to the Linux Loader (ELILO.EFI)

On HP Integrity servers you can access the Linux loader (ELILO.EFI) by using the following
procedure to boot ELILO.EFI and type any key to stop the boot process at the "ELILO boot"
prompt.
From ELILO you can boot Linux, list devices and configuration entries, or exit ELILO by typing
Esc (the escape key) then Enter.
The ELILO loader and configuration files are at the following locations on the EFI System Partition
for the Linux boot device.
ELILO Loader Files for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
EFI System Partition, the full paths to the loader and configuration files are: \EFI\redhat\
elilo.efi and \EFI\redhat\elilo.conf
ELILO Loader Files for SuSE Linux Enterprise Server
device EFI System Partition, the full paths to the loader and configuration files are: \efi\
SuSE\elilo.efi and \efi\SuSE\elilo.conf
NOTE:
The Linux loader (ELILO.EFI) is available only on HP Integrity servers (Intel®
Itanium®-based systems).

Procedure 5-54 Linux Loader (ELILO.EFI) Booting and Access
Use this procedure to access the ELILO Linux loader.
1.
Load the ELILO.EFI Linux loader.
Either select a Linux entry from the EFI Boot Manager menu (the boot options list for the
nPartition), or invoke the ELILO.EFI Linux loader from the EFI Shell.
2.
Type any key when the "ELILO boot" prompt is displayed to stop the boot process at
ELILO.
After you type a key (for example, space) the ELILO loader remains at the "ELILO boot"
prompt, rather than loading the default Linux kernel entry in the elilo.conf file.
3.
Issue ELILO loader commands or enter the kernel path or label (from the elilo.conf file)
that you wish to boot.
To exit the ELILO loader, type Esc then Enter at the "ELILO boot" prompt. To list labels
in the current elilo.conf file, type Tab. For details see
