Linux and EFI

[David A. Bandel]

I guess the biggest challenge I've faced lately is the EFI boot on my
notebook.  It may be possible to backup to a BIOS boot, but as this seems
to be another "trend" M$ is railroading manufacturers into, I decided to
set it all up.

At first I tried GRUB.  That didn't go so well.  grub-efi is definitely not
ready for prime time.  At least, all I can ever seem to get is a
grub-rescue screen with grub-efi.  Not really a problem, I run lilo on all
my servers (despite LPI's decision to dump it on exams and only test GRUB).

So I am running elilo on my laptop and it works OK.  But I can't remote
boot it as I seem to have to walk it through the bootup (but at least it
does boot up).

Guess my question is, anyone know if there's going to be a way to get a
certified boot kernel that the EFI stuff will be happy with? Or a way to
create one (that would be even better)?

Ciao,

David A. Bandel
