Install issues - elilo install 64-14.2-current huge
Installer seemed, to me, to have changed my own boot partition /sda1's format from fat32 to fat16 during the target phase. I had used 'mkfs.msdos 32 -f' after reading of fat issues and links. In looking into my partitions, I noticed elilo put 3 directories into my EFI partition:

Code:
mkfs.vfat -F 32 -s 2 ${PREFERRED_EFI_PARTITION} 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null I suspect that the partition was just already formatted in FAT16. In case the installer finds an EFI partition already formatted, it doesn't reformat it. Else, it tells the user that it found a not yet formatted FAT partition and asks if it should format it Quote:

Thanks for showing me the error of my ways, Didier. |
Just for your information:
Code:
didier[~]$ ls -l /sbin/mkfs* Furthermore you don't have to worry about the -F option as "man mkfs.fat" says: Code:
-F FAT-SIZE |
