Subject: [Linux-ia64] issues of Linux 2.3.99 installed on BigSur EFI 1.00 [12.15]
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 23:48:51 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-ia64-105590678205194@msgid-missing> (raw)

We have two BigSur system experiencing hard time on Linux 2.3.99 scsi
interface:
-------------------------
System #1:
Configuration  - EFI 1.00 [12.15], upgrade by Intel from A-1 stepping to A-3
stepping
                        Qlogic BIOS 1.15
                        Qla1280 Firmware 8.13.08
                        1GB RAM, 9GB scsi hard drive
Problem - System booted fine and most IO test OK before the upgrade.  After
upgrade,
               BIOS can see the scsi device
               EFI also see the files on the drive
               "eli vmlinux root=/dev/sda3" will fail due to cannot found
/dev/sda3
               Tried other possible device node but none of them works.
               Re-install Linux 2.3.99 (TurboLinux) also failed on the same
problem.

Note: for system #1, windows2000 64 installation and running OK!
----------------------------------
System #2:
Configuration  - EFI 0.99 [12.25], A-2 stepping
                        Qlogic BIOS 1.15
                        Qla1280 Firmware 8.13.08
                        1GB RAM, 9GB scsi hard drive
Problem - System failed during the boot.  All scsi command timed out and
aborted after
               BIOS, EFI and eli sees the device.
-----------------------------------

Is anyone can help on these issues?

Also could someone explain a little bit about the EFI and eil loading
process, what are they stand for and basic function among BIOS, EFI and eli?

Many thanks!

-eddie
