Well, in order to boot you have to place .efi into /boot/efi, I am not sure if it is the best idea to directly install everything with .efi into /boot/efi. As far as I know, elilo is installed into /usr/lib/elilo and grub2 is placed into /boot/efi by grub2-install. >=20 > Unless you really think that having /usr/ as a vfat filesystem is ok? > :) >=20 > thanks, >=20 > greg k-h >=20 ------enig2QIRSXJMSPNMRGXDNIRXR Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJREDoHAAoJEFskXWf93mhXLXUP/RR7rWRrv9YvrWWw73opompE AefSzrmICQH+whBgF1iNsOJHkxT/y8e/hkLo/cEUlSUpGdVf61HNOaOGId1Xkvlc sHt/2sJglb+kV2lPpjYApWa04w/Rdl6d5N9dbtoomt0bxP8oyhMJy1hPltjFiLoM Sl76I474eO25nRNoEsMZVsVw1plzzqp6ojZhqKBiEQ/crVjMRndyOMROnA3vT8Em T2oVwjhzTGxZetfWKg6SbduwMMnouBubZk9HBE/0b6+HXnJovX1bfuW9k/YuMhQ1 Nxbgh9WDXyHXK0P+RRA7mQXf5Zypz4qF20E058ToHMjTw9I7bCCHOcQmYgkPanG0 OZWd8YDbKU0J+/1eQmTjw0kJz+L1Odbm30Ghh6PHGgFZFqexY01DNug5UuIGIKEH EdDps0o1LmWVZXiGgeSe8IyX6DDmMRl0Pyge86+HcSiyWs3yXNxe1v8aMB9W0c6m bZu2JvXUwQcMLmJLlRAHS6U3l1RCd4Pd1xeWQMJ3R4T/lgoI8uon2G6r9TMMjszv RcbbKSOsMgzOK5kvLureL+Exx3v9UrE+2MTBu+0k8k6P1hPSspfI2fubQJtbtzPV eRsvMJy5s7MEdmfk8d/KN5ADcj/qkrGNjuoijEMSZ46cuSF7WdFoSij22LW1KHxQ o7pfVb/60HOszab6zBAc =mB8G -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------enig2QIRSXJMSPNMRGXDNIRXR--
