Hi all,

I am using the elilo stub loader to boot my UEFI system which works fine, by the way. The problem that I am having is whenever I compile a new kernel,I am not able to boot into that kernel if I am using an initrd image associated with it. The stub loader says that the kernel and initrd files are loaded, but the process just stops there.

I am using kernel 4.1.2 and when I compile in the necessary modules into the kernel and boot without the initrd image, it boots just fine. I am using Slackware-14.1 on an x86_64 system. Is there a command that I can use to debug the efi sub loader process to see exactly where things are hanging? I already have verbose=5 in the elilo.conf file. Any help would be appreciated.

huh

I think you may have to run (e)lilo for it to pick up on your new kernel & initrd, (used to have to do that when I last used lilo, but that was a long time ago now). Perhaps check with man elilo.

Thanks for the response. There is no provision to run elilo as the elilo.conf file is read at boot time by the elilo.efi executable.
