I'll keep picking away at this one, but if anyone has any other ideas or other diagnostics that may shed light on this, I would appreciate your input as well.
Hi So if you have drives to play with, I usually do manual installs of windows (7, 8.1 or 10) and openSUSE/SLE
eg UEFI; Windows 10, SLED, openSUSE 42.2 and openSUSE Tumbleweed;
lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 111.8G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 260M 0 part /boot/efi (boots TW and SLED) ├─sda2 8:2 0 40G 0 part ├─sda3 8:3 0 40G 0 part / └─sda4 8:4 0 31.5G 0 part /data sdb 8:16 0 111.8G 0 disk ├─sdb1 8:17 0 300M 0 part ├─sdb2 8:18 0 100M 0 part (Boots WinX and 42.2) ├─sdb3 8:19 0 128M 0 part ├─sdb4 8:20 0 62.9G 0 part ├─sdb5 8:21 0 450M 0 part (Windows needed to upgrade the build) ├─sdb6 8:22 0 8G 0 part [SWAP] └─sdb7 8:23 0 40G 0 part
For MBR I normally allocate an extended partition and set grub there, eg;
sda1: 100M sda2: Windows sda3: extended sda5: /boot sda6..7 etc as required
Now I wonder since it's windows 10 on MBR it still needs extra partitions.
For windows UEFI it does need a 0c01 of 128MB, windows 10 has an extra 300MB type 2700 one as well...
Hi Also I had a HP ProBook 4330s that was in that category, I just hacked it with the grub file renamed and popped into /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT (maybe case sensitive?), but just left as a single boot system... The HP ProBook 4440s worked fine. If push comes to shove, just press F9 and select the efi entry to boot from? My HP ProBook 455 G1 was a bit funky, wanted CSM to install winX, then would work in Native mode after that for dual booting. I would look at upgrading the BIOS and you might find changes (check the release notes at the download page as well as any previous releases). I have a HP Pavilion g6 with win8.1, need to have a play with that once I get some time to clean out the blocked fan... -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE Leap 42.1|GNOME 3.16.2|4.1.34-33-default up 9 days 21:16, 3 users, load average: 0.30, 0.43, 0.28 CPU AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 635 @ 2.90GHz | GPU Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
