And elilo > also fails to load linux. same here, initrd loading looks to be working properly now with your patch, and Linux seems to get equally stuck even when I boot a kernel that doesn't need/have an initrd (despite all with CONFIG_EFI=y, and other _EFI_ things on too; in particular, it wasn't on the network when I had ethernet cable plugged in, and it normally would be, so that's my evidence that it definitely didn't boot). (though I didn't try chainloading OSX). So it seems your patches improve matters; but we're not in paradise yet :-), and may not be for a while, so the patches should probably go into grub and the symptoms documented? -Isaac
