\EFI\redhat\elilo.efi
\EFI\redhat\elilo.conf
By default the ELILO.EFI loader boots Linux using the kernel image and parameters specified
by the default entry in the elilo.conf file on the EFI System Partition for the boot device.
To interact with the ELILO.EFI loader, interrupt the boot process (for example, type a space)
at the ELILO boot prompt. To exit the ELILO.EFI loader, use the exit command.
Procedure 4-18 Booting Red Hat Enterprise Linux (EFI Shell)
Use this procedure to boot Red Hat Enterprise Linux from the EFI Shell.
Refer to “ACPI Configuration for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Must Be default” (page 116) for
required configuration details.
1. Access the EFI Shell.
From the system console, select the EFI Shell entry 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 have been 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, type a
space) at the ELILO boot prompt. To exit the loader, use the exit command.
