Booting the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Operating System
You can boot the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system on HP Integrity servers using either of
these methods:
• “Booting Red Hat Enterprise Linux from the EFI Boot Manager Menu” (page 132)
• “Booting Red Hat Enterprise Linux from the EFI Shell” (page 132)
Booting Red Hat Enterprise Linux from the EFI Boot Manager Menu
NOTE: If Red Hat is booted from the iLO 2 MP, set console=ttyS0 at the elilo prompt to redirect
console output to the iLO 2 MP.
1. Select a Red Hat Enterprise Linux entry from the EFI Boot Manager menu.
2. To load the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system at the EFI Boot Manager menu, select
its entry from the list of boot options.
3. Selecting a Linux entry from the boot options list boots the operating system using ELILO.EFI
loader and the elilo.conf file.
Booting Red Hat Enterprise Linux from the EFI Shell
1. Access the EFI Shell.
From the system console, select EFI Shell from the EFI Boot Manager menu to access the shell.
2. Access the EFI System Partition for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux boot device.
Use the map EFI Shell command to list the file systems (fs0, fs1, and so on) that are known
and mapped.
To select a file system to use, enter its mapped name followed by a colon (:). For example,
to operate with the boot device that is mapped as fs3, enter fs3: at the EFI Shell prompt.
3. Enter ELILO at the EFI Shell command prompt to launch the ELILO.EFI loader.
If needed, you can specify the loader’s full path by entering \EFI\redhat\elilo at the
EFI Shell command prompt.
4. Allow the ELILO.EFI loader to proceed with booting the Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel.
By default, the ELILO.EFI loader boots the kernel image and options specified by the default
item in the elilo.conf file.
To interact with the ELILO.EFI loader, interrupt the boot process, for example, enter a space
at the ELILO boot prompt.
To exit the loader, use the exit command.
