--- Comment #51 from Ulf Michel
@ Ulf Michel, reference Comment#45, when you say computer did not reboot, do you mean openSUSE-13.1 RC1 would not reboot, but Windows8 kept rebooting ?
1st speculation - If Windows-8 kept rebooting, in Windows-8 did you try " bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\opensuse\shim.efi " (or something similar with appropriate directory (I don't know how relevant) to see if that helps.
2nd speculation - Also did you try to in Sony's BIOS, change a setting, save, shutdown. Go back into BIOS, change setting back, save, and then see if reboot to openSUSE recognized. I read of a case with an Asus where something similar needed.
Both above speculations are based on reading other threads on UEFI in forums and possibly not relevant.
Windows did also not boot. The computer started with options to change BIOS or to start Windows repair from external drive. I changed in BIOS booting from external to internal drive but this did not help. (I currently cannot access the boot menu because I perform a complete Windows System backup on DVD - this is the way accepted by the boot menu for repairing the Windows installation - before my next install attempt.) In my despair, I also tried to use legacy mode to install 13.1 on the whole available SSD (and run Windows in virtual mode KVM). But even this did not work. I had to use the install CDROM to start the installed system. Well, this might have been solvable with your bcdedit proposal above. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
