I'd search in /var/lib/YaST2 first... Otherwise, no, I have no idea what code caches this in the disk. I'd bet on the YaST's bootloader module, though. -- 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.

For "regular" installation, YaST learns from this file if it is in uEFI environment or not. Steffen, can you confirm that YaST takes hte uEFI decsion from install.inf (and does not e.g. check the existence of efivars)? It seems that install.inf is written from /etc/langset.sh - but I could not find who calls this script in the live image... -- 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.

It says "grub2".

For regular installation, it finds out if the system was booted via uEFI - which is correct behavior, because you want to run the final system the same as the installation. What could be done (and IMO makes sense as well) is to check for efivars (simply the same check as Linuxrc probably does setting the variable). This would avoid any caching.

During install, the installer reported a UI error and the message said something about a syntax error with showing a progress report. The install proceeded blind (no information). And then suddenly a progress bar appeared at the stage of installing booting. I'll want to reinstall on the same machine from the DVD image before I decide whether to report a separate bug. -- 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.
