Make sure the firmware is up to date. Do not disable UEFI, that's the same thing as enabling CSM. CSM is for legacy OS's, Tumbleweed is not a legacy OS.
Updated the firmware today, no change.
The USB stick is seen by the BIOS and I can access UEFI info (with UEFI turned on). During the boot process the flash drive light flashes a little and I am returned to the BIOS settings screen (booting to the internal drive is disabled). AmI just going down a rabbit hole that has no end or is there hope of installing TW at all?> How did you create the boot media? What boot option in the boot menu are you choosing? Have you changed any of the F-key boot options? No KMS, or kernel safe settings?
I used SUSE Studiowriter to put the iso on a flashdrive.
The boot menu never comes up. The LED on the flashdrive blinks a few times and then I'm taken back to the BIOS setup screen. Lots of searching on Google brings no relief. It appears that a 32 bit EFI is needed even if installing a 64 bit OS.
Try using dd to create the bootable USB instead. My ASUS UX31LA is also a bit finicky about what sort of bootable USB it accepts, and the most reliable for now is dd.
