The paper is devoted to the analysis of the existence of positive solutions of the problem \[ {\mathcal L}u = \lambda u - a(x)u^p \quad{in}\quad\Omega,\qquad u=0\quad{on}\quad\partial\Omega, \] where \(\mathcal L\) is a second order uniformly elliptic operator, \(p > 1\) and \(a\) is a sign-changing weight function. Necessary and sufficent conditions for the existence of a solution are obtained. The results are based on a bifurcation theorem of Crandall and Rabinowitz. This allows to avoid any restrictions on \(p\) which are natural for the critical point approach developed earlier for this problem [see \textit{H. Beresticky, I. Capuzzo-Dolcetta} and \textit{L. Nirenberg}, Nonlinear Differ. Equations Appl. 2, 553-572 (1995; Zbl 0840.35035)].
