hi all,

this is my first time using email list...hope you can help me.
i encounted a problem, actually two problems.

----------------------------------
hardware:
MSI P45D3 Platinum, UEFI,

directories:
-live
initrd1.img
vmlinuz1
filesystem.squashfs
...
-elilo
elilo.efi
elilo.conf
----------------------------------

1. i made a USB Live stick, but it can't boot from this motherboard (when select "USB Hotplug FDD", then the error message is "Boot Failure, Press any key to continue..."). Howerver, in the Legacy BIOS, it works. Why?

2. this one is about elilo.efi and elilo.conf, i copy the elilo.efi (x86_64 edition, only this edition can work in the UEFI Shell) to the USB, and create a elilo.conf, content:
-----------------------------
prompt
timeout=50
default=live

image=/live/vmlinuz1
label=live
initrd=/live/initrd1.img
read-only
root=/dev/sdb
append="console=ttyS0"
----------------------------

but as i run this command in the UEFI Shell "elilo.efi -v" in the Filesystem of the USB stick, i saw the error:
---------------------------------------------------------------
kernel is '/live/vmlinuz1'
arguments are 'root=/dev/sdb console=ttyS0 ro'
initrd is '/live/initrd1.img'

allocator: AllocatePages(2, 2, 0x100000) failed (Not Found) .

Using bzImage_loader loader
Loding file \live\initrd1.img...done
...................

(!died here!)
---------------------------------------------------------------

anyone can help me ?

thank you.
