Attached is a new efibootmgr ebuild and a patch to elilo to support 2.6 kernels, in which /proc/efi/vars has moved to /sys/firmware/efi and changed format. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Created attachment 42695 [details] ebuild for current efibootmgr version
Created attachment 42696 [details, diff] patch required for new efibootmgr ebuild
Created attachment 42698 [details, diff] patch to sys-boot/elilo/files/elilo-3.4 to support 2.6 kernels
i dont see the point of the second patch ... i didnt need it when i built 0.5.0 ... in the future, file sep bugs for sep packages
added 0.5.0 to portage w/out your patch
*shrug* I needed to the patch to get it to compile; if you don't, great. My glibc is probably older than yours.
Compiles fine here. What compiler error are you getting?
Don't worry about it. Like I said, I'm probably running an older glibc. My Itaniums are in production, so I can't immediately upgrade glibc whenever a new version comes out.
ok, we should be set then yeah ? :)
Cannot compile efibootmgr 0.5.0, as the system does not know about u64... Looks like I miss the u64 patch too !

ERROR: sys-boot/efibootmgr-0.5.0 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 26, Exitcode 2 !!! emake failed !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. Then, what should to do ? Is it safe to remove all glibc versions but the last one ? Or should I just patch elilo and efibootmgr to compile them ? And 1 last question about this error msg '/usr/include/linux/ethtool.h:243: error: syntax error before "u64"': how is it possible that a C type used in a system header is undefined ?
