The result will be the same. I have just completed an install with the live KDE for build 575. --- # ls -l boot total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 croot users 4096 Jul 11 10:01 efi drwxr-xr-x 5 croot users 4096 Jul 11 10:04 grub2 --- That is not going to work. I have not yet attempted installing a kernel. It also screwed up UEFI stuff (deleted the boot entry I had for Tumbleweed 12.3, also installed on the same box).

An additional follow up to this:

I tried installing in a non-UEFI box, from the same USB (with openSUSE-Factory-KDE-Live-x86_64-Build0575-Media.iso ).

The same thing happened. There were no kernels in "/boot".

Just a small 'chime-in' here from my side: tested the same yesterday with GNOME live usb (build 575) and the results are very equal.

An additional problem arose. The install screen complained that the boot settings were incompatible with the system. On checking, it turned out that the installer had defaulted to using grub2-efi (on this non-efi system). That was easy enough to fix, but this needs to be correct by the time that 13.1 is released.

Seen that one as well; it's inverted to what we had in 12.3, where UEFI boxes tried to install the non-efi grub2.

I'm not posting a bug report yet. I'll wait till 13.1 Milestone 3 is announced. And if that uses a different build, then I will retest before reporting as a bug.

I'd say it already warrants for a bug report: if the 'daily' builds don't have it, you can be very sure that a Milestone, which is 'just a propagation' of one of the builds to be 'the milestone' won't be different.

I do now have both systems (UEFI and non-UEFI) booting normally and running. But it took some rescuing effort to get them going.

As I needed Factory, I went to install 12.3 and dup to Factory to avoid the installer issues.. but clearly not where we must be heading. Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I do now have both systems (UEFI and non-UEFI) booting normally and running. But it took some rescuing effort to get them going. I installed build 0576 with the same failure. then I tried again while running the usb stick I saw that apper wanted to update so I did the subsequent install was successful. btw my repos pointed to factory I am going to try the same with a download from http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.1-Milestone3/iso/

I installed and got the to retry boot loader yada yada . Checked the /mnt/boot files with dolphin saw it was empty so I copied the files from loop device/boot to /mnt/boot I think Redid the boot loader finished the installation and success -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
