[gentoo-user] EFI Boot Gentoo DVD-Live amd64 und HP-EFI-Bios

Hi,

If eyeverone has an experience with that.

I can boot in EFI Mode and install some other Linux distros on my
Hp8440p . And I will do the same for Gentoo, but until today I cannot do
that, or exactly only in legacy-boot. And this is perturbing my GPT
Partition Table...

I guess that actually it should not be a big problem. I tried with the
IA64 and the hp-efi-bios sees the elilo.efi , but it cannot boot this
kernel.. normal..

But with the amd64, i should be able to see the elilo.efi. The dvd or
mimnimalcd install cannot boot the gentoo.efimg Image. Or am I
false ?

What is missing in the DVD-Live or Minimal CD Install to boot correctly
in EFI Mode ?

The path /boot/efi/ is missing ... like one of the working other
distro...

Thank you very much..

Claude

Use a different liveCD. Try systemRescueCD first. Earlier today Grant mentioned success with a kbuntu disk (I thought they'd stopped making that?).
