booting with EFI on a macbook

[Peter Weber]

Hello,
I own a macbook (late 2007 with firmware 1.2) on which I installed
Gentoo-Linux x86_64 with elilo. As usual (?) elilo is not able to store
and bless the elilo.efi on the EFI-Partition, caused by the circumstance
that the install-cd has a regular ISO-Layout and is booted via the apple
legacy-bios.
When I try to bless the elilo.efi over MacOS 10.5 and reboot I just get
a grey screen, and after 10-20 seconds EFI loads MacOS again. I tried to
hit enter while the grey screen appears, no effect.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I blessed the elilo.efi under macos with the terminal:
sudo bash
mount efi-partition to /efi
change to /efi/elilo (here is the elilo.efi, elilo.conf, kernel-2.6)
bless --setBoot --verbose --mount /efi --file /efi/elilo/elilo.efi

Than i reboot the system.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


You will find all configurations files here, if you think I should
change something tell it me. Maybe the elilo.conf is wrong, or may
bless-line above, or I need a still a textmode-patch?!
