[SOLVED] What is the sequence of the boot process using UEFI and elilo?
by lupe from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6PWF6)
Hi,
As the title says, I'd like to know what happens in the boot process when using UEFI and elilo, as I'm having a problem booting from the initrd file that I generated after an upgrade in current.
1. Select the correct start entry from the Motherboard UEFI boot prompt.
2. /boot/efi/EFI/Slackware/elilo.conf is read.
Mine is:
Code:image=vmlinuz-6.9.10
label=vmlinuz-6.9.10
initrd=initrd-6.9.10.gz
read-only
append="root=/dev/cryptvg/root vga=normal ro resume=/dev/cryptvg/swap"3. What is read next?
vmlinuz from /boot/efi/EFI/Slackware/vmlinuz-6.9.10 ?
initrd from /boot/efi/EFI/Slackware/initrd-6.9.10.gz ?
4. Is anything from /boot still read like in the old non-UEFI setup?
What? System.map? config? efi/?
Anything else?
