ELILO on X86/IA32: LocateHandle GopProtocol failed

[Naresh Bhat]

Hi Jason,

Thanks a lot for the information. Please, keep myself also in loop when you
file a bug.

Here is one more information I have downloaded and tried all the available
versions of the elilo-3.*-ia32.elf binaries. But no luck..-:( getting the
same "LocateHandle GopProtocol failed" error.

I have few questions

1. If it is back word compatibility issue, I assume at-least one version of
elilo-3.*-ia32.elf (between elilo-3.5pre1 to elilo-3.12) binary should be
working. I am not understanding why not all binaries? Is it because of
following reason?

Reason:
On platform x86/IA32 EFI 10.1 firmware does not have the GOP handler call
implementation (in UEFI 2.0 firmware GOP handler call exists) and It is
required to write a different handler, by looking in to x86/IA32 EFI 10.1
Firmware specification?

2. When can I expect the next version release of elilo ?

Thanks and Regards

and I mean with elilo-3.12
I see your response that 3.6 gets passed the GOP query, ah just looked
its not there in 3.6, wondering if the GOP query is invalid on EFI
1.10
It was introduced with the INTEL UEFI patches for 3.8. I'll look at
the
EFI spec.

So this is the issue, backwards compatibility issue, that handle is not
defined in EFI 1.10 so the query is invalid. I'll file a bug, thnx
