Re: creating bootable disks for ia64 machines.

Sriharsha,

It has been a while since I have needed to make a bootable iso but I dug
through my notes.  My notes have the same arguments to mkisofs as you
have.

What happens when you try to boot it?  Can you see an efi readable
filesystem from the efi shell?  If so then it is likely a problem with
elilo not being set up properly in the boot image.
