@ 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 ?
FWIW my private Sony Laptop at home seems to have hardcoded the location of the Windows bootloader. I had to remove /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi to make the system boot anything other than Windows. So if your system keeps rebooting into Windows that might be worth a try too. Shiny new UEFI world :-(
This is a good proposal that I will test the next time.
You simply removed the efi file? Did Windows then boot via grub? Where are the opensuse efi entries?
I had to move the file to a different location and load if from there via grub2. Requires manual configuration of grub2 of course :( Windows seems to be happy with that so far. Until they update their bootloader I guess.
After my newest install (Linux on USB HDD) Windows 8 boots well, but not so Linux. I have to boot with the install USB-Stick (on sdb). The installer fails to locate the installed system on sdc. After starting the installation but aborting it when the installation dialogue "language" appears, I arrive in a text menu which offers to start the installed system, but I have to select the partition. The system starts perfectly after this. I have deleted /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi as you proposed, but the entry was back after the first Windows start. -- 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.
