Thanks for your quick response. The images are 50-500MB uncompressed (provided by gzip compressed file). Small ammount of elf modules, 5, each ~50kB. I haven't checked if the size does have any influence yet. I just wondered why I can't see any md_image with 'lsmod' and EFI loader. Btw, I forogt to mention I'm running 11-stable from this week, tested on real HW and ESXi guest. Thanks, -harry
