Description Justin Bronder (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

In order to use elilo as suggested by the handbook, elilo requires EFI_VARS to be built as a module.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot the ia64 2007.0 minimal install cd
2.Follow handbook until the "Configuring the bootloader stage"
3.Attempt to run elilo --efiboot

Actual Results:  
( From inside chroot )
# elilo --efiboot
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.18-gentoo/modules.dep: No such file or directory
elilo: no efi/vars under /proc or /sys/firmware, boot menu not updated
elilo: Warning: /boot/fallback not found


Expected Results:  
From outside the chroot, modprobe efivars succeeds.
