Reboot after kernel load

Post by TDRR »

Hello. I've tried to install Salix 15.0 using the non-live image. I've tried twice, one with ELILO and then with LILO. Sadly neither works.

With ELILO, nothing happens at all. If I let it boot normally I just get a blinking cursor, never seeing any LILO or Salix boot info, and selecting the EFI entry manually reboots immediately. I did set up a fat32 partition with the "EFI system partition" ID, and the installer did correctly figure out the laptop I'm installing on is EFI capable, but still didn't work.

With LILO, I can see the boot selection, and once it starts booting up and gets to the point where it decompresses the kernel and shows the memory addresses it reboots again.

I have booted Debian and openSUSE on EFI perfectly fine and Puppy Linux with grub4dos (which is legacy BIOS only I think). What could be going wrong here?
