I can not revert the commit
e429795c68d3001ecae74f6465420c9f043b0ece. it gave me errors.
but i'm also not sure what could be wrong with this commit!
my first idea was that the commit
"[2215e69d2cf5024647f9a034807990590d25dd4e] x86 boot: use E820
memory map on EFI 32 platform" is the offender, because the macbook
pro doesn't provide a e820 memory map at all. but bisect showed
that i'm wrong here?!
ELILO is expected to convert the memory map from EFI to e820 format.
I'm using elilo-3.6-ia32.efi provided at the elilo homepage. i
wasn't able to create a working efi toolchain :-(
Does elilo-3.6 already do the converting of the memory map, or not?
Don't know.
3.6 doesn't do the mapping in ia32/system.c create_boot_params().
3.8 does.
The problem is, that i wasn't able to produce a working elilo.efi files
with my gentoo toolchain. the files elilo-3.8.efi provided by the elilo
project also doesn't work (gives a load error from the efi runtime).
So i guess i'm stuck here.
It should be noted somewhere that with Huangs patches, elilo version 3.8
is needed.
