/boot/efi/EFI/slackware/
When I select slackware from the boot manager page nothing happens ie no boot. The system just goes right back to the boot selector.
The usb UEFI boot stick does work, When I use my elilo.efi and elilo.conf installed on sdb at /boot/efi/ the system boots using linuxB efivar. Let me add that the efibootmgr does create the boot variable it is listed like this. Code:
root@linux:~# efibootmgr The directory structure can be very tricky when doing efi boot. |
Runs great!
I just downloaded the ISO image of -current as of RC1 stage, and, after wiping my disk, reinstalled. I suspect that this release will be better than the last one. (Not that any of them are bad, per se, but some are better than others).
Go Slackware! Regards, Matt |

this will affect a few slackbuild programs. I am loving this one it is pretty stable. Oh yes had to kill nepomuk once it went up to using 3.5 gigs of memory. remember this is an slackpkg upgrade from pristine to another. 14.0 to 14.1 rc so I cleared out the .kde like it was a fresh new start and that problem went away and was looking at the new default wallpaper nice theme. |

Have you tried pangox-compat? |

The line in eliloconfig that installs the menu entry is this one: efibootmgr -q -c -d $EFI_DEVICE -p $EFI_PARTITION -l /EFI/Slackware/elilo.efi -L "Slackware" So, for an EFI System Partition of /dev/sda1, that would translate as: efibootmgr -q -c -d /dev/sda -p 1 -l /EFI/Slackware/elilo.efi -L "Slackware" Does adding -g help? Otherwise, if you spot a bug in what I'm doing here, any correction is appreciated. |

QtWebKit is already included in the stock qt Slackware's package.
try a Code:
grep -i qtwebkit /var/log/packages/qt-* |
EFI: can't boot after installation on vmplayer

Installation went smoothly, made a 100M EFI partition, setup detected it and put a FAT32 fs on it, registered it in /etc/fstab, installed elilo on it, so everything seemed to have worked.
But after that I can't boot the VM.

This works for me!

fs1: So then I made a half dozen entries in the NVRAM using efibootmgr. To make a long story short entry slack2 worked. So here ya go Code:
efibootmgr -q -c -d /dev/sdb -p 1 -l "\EFI\Slackware\elilo.efi" -L slack2 I tried to make a patch file, but I will need to study your script for about a week to do that. LOL Hope this helps John |
It worked here too!

This is what I did:
PS about the pic: I didn't try to do that recursively, i.e. launch a VM inside the VM etc. Only 4 G of RAM, sorry ;) |
