The install went fine till the boot ... I got the message "error: no such device /efi/boot/fallback.efi" Here is the configuration : disk0 2TB will be dedicated almost 100% to Linux [ last 100GB for windows ] in disk managemet it is GPT disk1 128GB SDD EFI System Partiton 260 MB reserved 16 MB C: 82 GB F: 36 GB WINRE A) Via BIOS changed the boot order to CD then OS B) Using a bootable CD of opensuse leap 15.0 NW , I tried a minimal install with /dev/sda1 / partition /dev/sda2 /home partiton , and /dev/sda3 swap partition. Thw Windows partitions are on /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1 EFI System Partition /dev/sdb2 C: /dev/sdb3 F: /dev/sdb4 WINRE Because I do not know btrfs I selected ext4 [ for / and /home] , The install went fine and I saw the message that bthe boot loader was installed. Then , the icon that the boot will follow .... I got the 1st icon of install : Boot from HardDisk Installation More ... I selected Boot from HD .... then I got the message error: no such device /efi/boot/fallback.efi press enter to continue ..... put me back on the above describec icon . C) Go to Windows and with Disk Manager remove the / /home swap partitions Then try again and pay attention at install messages : Language Englist Test keyboard ok KDE with Plasma "partitionomg" Delete GPT for /dev/sda Create GPT for /dev/sda Create partition /dev/sda1 for / create partition /dev/sda 2 for /fomr create partition /dev/sda4 for swap The only thing edited were the sizes . Try again .... the same issue . It seems that I done something wrong ..... Could you please tell/help me on getting the linus installed : 1. do I need an EFI partition on /dev/sda if so, how could I get it created ? 2. is the ESP [ /dev/sdb1 ] affected by the 1st/2nd installs if so, could be ESP fixed ? 3. Can switch from btrfs / xfs to ext4 ? 4. Do I need a /boot partition ? 5. Partitions order /boot_efi [ ESP or newly created ] / /boot /var /tmp /opt /svr swap /home /root 6.Should I have to get /dev/sda initialized ? Could you please answer the above questions and comment/recommend what would be the best approach . As far as windows is concerned .... it will be used very rarely . Thank you in advance .
