Re: elilo booting problems
first off, the labels 'Linux', 'New', etc only refer to entries in the
elilo.conf file. you can only boot kernels in this fashion by having a
corresponding entry in this file, which i assume you edited? maybe you
could paste an example of one of the configurations into an email..
second, you can get a list of the bootable kernels from the elilo prompt by
hitting tab a few times. do this to make sure that your elilo modifications
are persistent.
third, do you have any reason to believe that these kernels are working
format for ia64? i.e., have they ever booted successfully? afaik, efi
cannot handle zipped kernels, only stripped vmlinux images.
good luck.
