Thanks! As Tony pointed out, I did an upgrade of the elilo.

1) Installed gnu-efi-3.0-2 and elilo-3.3a-2.
2) Managed to get the 2.6.0-Test5 kernel booting started.
3) Faced panic issues coz of the qla1280 driver. Used Jes
   Sorensen's patch for the qla1280 SCSI driver.

The booting was finally successful.

Thanks
Ameya
