Description of Problem: build qa0523.0 "Red Hat Linux" boot option from the EFI boot manager doesn't always work. How Reproducible: This is only an issue for the first couple of reboots after doing an install. It will eventually start working. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Perform an install 2. reboot 3. allow system to automatically boot from the first boot option in the EFI Boot Manager: "Red Hat Linux" Actual Results: If I'm lucky the following error message will be displayed and I will be spit out at the efi shell: Loading.:Red Hat Linux Starting:Red Hat Linux ELILO elilo.c (line 74): Cannot find a loader for Start of Red Hat Linux failed: Lead Error Sometimes this happens when I manually select the Red Hat option and press "Enter": Loading.:Red Hat Linux Starting:Red Hat Linux ELILO and then the system hard-locks. Additional Information: Boot option configuration: HD(Part1,Sig00000000)/\elilo.efi Boot0006 This behavior seems pretty random, but in general it seems to happen during the first few boot attempts. Eventually the situation straightens itself out and then seems to be fixed for good.
