[elilo-discuss] wrong version of gnu-efi cited in toolchain

[Jason F. <jas...@hp...>]

Hi all,

We discovered that the gnu-efi version in the documentation provided
with the Intel patches was wrong. version
gnu-efi3.0c or greater was cited. The version actually containing
the new uefi wrapper function went into gnu-efi3.0d. Whats worse
the elilo 3.7 source tarball will actually build against an older
version of gnu-efi putting out only numerous warnings for implicit
declaration of function uefi_call_wrapper()(provided by the gnu-efi
library) but finishing the build producing bad binaries that always
result in a system trap. The posted elilo-3.7-ia64.efi binary was bad. I
posted a new 3.7-ia64 binary built against the correct version of
gnu-efi today and tested on a debian install and a netboot. also posted
the 3.7-ia32 binary built with the correct toolchain however I still
dont have a machine to test this on,(but ive asked the gnu-efi
maintainer to test it as I know he does ;). the x86_64 binary shouldve
been ok, if its not, let me know. I havent tested it.

Cheers,
-jason
