Fedora Core 14 Native EFI installation

Here's the steps you can take to perform a Fedora Core 14 installation in EFI environment

1) Copy the vmlinuz and initrd.img from Fedora Core 14 installation disc to a pendrive
3) Compile elilo from http://sourceforge.net/projects/elilo/ and place it to the path where vmlinuz and initrd.img were copied
4) Create and add the following text to elilo.conf.

default=install
prompt


image=vmlinuz
    label=install
    description="Install"
    initrd=initrd.img

5) Place the Fedora Core 14 installation disc in your DVD ROM and Execute elilo.efi in EFI shell
6) Your installation should start by now.
7) Optional: Add the following line to the elilo.config if you need to redirect to serial console
    append="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8"


Alternative for elilo.conf to find FC14 installation disc
prompt
timeout=50
default=Linux


image=vmlinuz
  label=Linux
  initrd=initrd.img
  append="console = ttyS0, 115200n8"
