Result you end up with 2 menus; you can choose your kernel from the EFI menu and then choose another one from the elilo menu. What is the usage (standard)? - only one entry in EFI ( for all kernels) to elilo and then elilo doing the menu thing - as many entries in EFI boot mgr as kernel installed on the system linked to elilo just to load them? - or no EFI boot mgr entries at all and just a startup.nsh script which just call elilo and then elilo doing the menu thing ? - or what ever combination of all the different possiblity ? Two menu isnt't a bit redoundant ? thx -- -fabien-
