I have been successful with a tri-boot setup using LILO and rEFIt and a single boot with just GRUB. It is my understanding that rEFIt merely sycronizes the GPT with the protected MBR block on the GPT disc(?). I would like to do away with having to use any BIOS emulation/MBR voodoo altogether. First, is it possible? I have a 32bit kernel installed (2.6.20-15-generic). I tried ELILO but when I apt-get installed elilo it also pulled down efibootmgr. However, when I try to run efibootmgr I get a error about the module efivars not being loaded. In fact, efivars does not exist in my kernel. So, is that my first problem? simply that my kernel is not EFI-aware? Ive been reading over some of the Debian discussions and it seems that EFI support was in the standard ia32 kernels since last year. Any help to get going in the right direction would be great. Thanks!
