http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1101756 Bug ID: 1101756 Summary: enable specification of custom GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR= in UEFI bootloader installation Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.1 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: mrmazda@earthlink.net QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 777382 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=777382&action=edit 15.0 y2logs from host ab250 YaST2 currently offers no opportunity to specify a custom name to facilitate multiboot hosts. It needs one. Because it does not, e.g. when installation of Leap follows installation of Tumbleweed, the previous UEFI configuration is destroyed. The BIOS boot manager may or may not accommodate a proper selection of the preferred choice from the EFI/ESP partition. In the Leap follows TW case I just tried with an Asus B250M-C/CSM Kaby Lake motherboard with AMI BIOS version 1205 of 2018-05-11, the BIOS did not. As I normally do during installation, I deselected probe foreign OS. In attempting to avoid this overwrite, during installation of 15.0 I used vi to edit /mnt/etc/default/grub to include GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="opensuse150". Actual bootloader installation at the end of overall installation changed it to GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=, with the result that next boot only offered 15.0 to the exclusion of TW's /boot/grub2/custom.cfg which contains the custom stanzas for the other installed distros. I was forced to "choose" only 15.0 at next boot. I did work around that by using e on the 15.0 stanza to specify the TW kernel and initrd. Current EFI boot configuration: # efibootmgr BootCurrent: 0000 BootOrder: 0000,0001,0002 Boot0000* opensuse Boot0001* debian Boot0002* UEFI OS Expected EFI boot configuration subsequent to 15.0 installation was: # efibootmgr BootCurrent: 0000 BootOrder: 0000,0001,0002,0003,0004 Boot0000* opensuseTW Boot0001* debian Boot0002* ubuntu Boot0003* opensuse150 Boot0004* UEFI OS -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
