Re: efilinux release 0.8

[Metatech]

Hi Matt,

I tested your program on a MacBook Pro 5,3 (x86-64 efi).

Here are the changes I did :

1. In protocol.h, comment "LocateProtocol" function

2. Add 2 symlinks in Ubuntu
mkdir /usr/lib64/gnuefi
cd /usr/lib64/gnuefi
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/crt0-efi-x86_64.o crt0-efi-x86_64.o
sudo ln -s  /usr/lib64/elf_x86_64_efi.lds elf_x86_64_efi.lds

3. Comment the CRC check on the executable
/*if (CheckCrc(sys_table->Hdr.HeaderSize, &sys_table->Hdr) != TRUE)*/

4. The program fails in function "fs_init", with the following error
		Print(L"No devices support filesystems\n");
-> err = 14 (which means "not found").

Hope this helps,
Regards,

metatech
