Hello, How does one use the "text-mode" variable in elilo.conf? I'm trying to eliminate this error. ...........LocateHandle GopProtocol failed. --Either no graphics head is installed, --efi console is set to serial, or, --the EFI firmware version of this machine is --older than UEFI 2.0. and does not support GOP you can SAFELY IGNORE this error. elilo will default to text-mode. Alternatively you can now force text mode by setting config variable text_mode=1 for x86 in elilo.conf or via cmdline. If I try adding "text-mode=1" (or "text_mode=1") to the config file it does not recognize the option. (ELILO v3.14 for EFI/x86_64) near line 3: Unkown option .�.�.�.�.0.0.�.�.�.�.�.�.�.�.�.�.�.�.�. elilo config file: verbose=5 default=aries-linux text-mode=1 ... John |

Jason, This is x86_64. I also tried placing the 'text-mode=1' in the append line with no success. ... kernel is '/opt/tftpboot/bzImage arguments are ' text-mode=1 earlyprintk=serial,115200 load_ramdisk=1 ... initrd is '/opt/tftpboot/initrd ELILO v3.14 for EFI/x86_64 ...

With a little debugging, I solved my problem. The actual option needed in the config file is 'text-mode', without any '=1'. Also, the option must be placed after the 'image=' option, on a line of its own.
