eliloconfig not working, part2
by mfoley from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6K7S1)
For such a reltively simple process I seem to manage to find all the possible things that can go wrong. I've successfully converted 3 CSM/MBR systems to UEFI now I'm doing a 4th and failing. The difference is this one is a RAID-1.
I've changed the BIOS to boot UEFI and booted the Slackware 15.0 DVD. Then:
Code:mount /dev/md2 /mnt
mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
mount --bind /sts /mnt/sys
chroot /mnt
mount /dev/md0 /boot/efi
eliloconfigThis creates the following /boot/efi/EFI/Slackware/elilo.conf:
[code]
chooser=simple
delay=1
timeout=1
#
image=vmlinuz
label=vmlinuz
read-only
append="root=/dev/md2 vga=normal ro"
[/dev]
vmlinuz is the same as /boot/vmlinuz-huge-5.15.145
The /etc/fstab is
Code:/dev/md0 /boot/efi vfat defaults 1 0
/dev/md1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/md2 / ext4 defaults 1 1
#/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,owner,ro,comment=x-gvfs-show 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0When I reboot, it revert to the BIOS setup screen. If I F8 while booting, the hard drive(s) don't show at all. I've read that elilo.conf should support most of the lilo.conf settings, but the only lilo setting I have related to RAID is "raid-extra-boot=mbr-only", which I doubt will do anything for elilo as that is to instruct lilo to write the MBR to all RAID members.
I've come across a couple of posts that mention mdraid, but can't find any more on that.
Is there a solution for this?
