Booting the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Operating System
You can boot the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system on HP Integrity servers using either of these
methods:
•
Choose a Red Hat Enterprise Linux entry from the EFI Boot Manager menu.
To load the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system at the EFI Boot Manager menu, choose its entry
from the list of boot options.
Choosing a Linux entry from the boot options list boots the operating system using
ELILO.EFI
loader and
the
elilo.conf
file.
•
Initiate the
ELILO.EFI
Linux loader from the EFI Shell. For details, see “Access the EFI Shell.” on
page 158.
On a Red Hat Enterprise Linux boot device EFI System Partition, the full paths to the loader and
configuration files are:
\EFI\redhat\elilo.efi
\EFI\redhat\elilo.conf
After choosing the file system for the boot device (for example,
fs0:
) you can initiate the Linux loader
from the EFI Shell prompt by entering the full path for the
ELILO.EFI
loader.
By default the
ELILO.EFI
loader boots Linux using the kernel image and parameters specified by the default
entry in the
elilo.conf
file on the EFI System Partition for the boot device.
To interact with the
ELILO.EFI
loader, interrupt the boot process (for example, enter a space) at the
ELILO
boot
prompt. To exit the
ELILO.EFI
loader, use the
exit
command.
