Yes the /boot/efi partition is vfat. I defined that to match what I've always done with SLE. I thought fat32 was required for efi firmware code.
Yes. As I know SLE uses elilo, somehow not stumbled in this file permission error? I think the filesystem is correct, but the problem is user defined partition may not set the boot flag and it get treated as user's partition and permissions. If parted not set the bootable then that GPT partition would not be set GUID Type as EFI System Partition, which would lead to problem on some UEFI firmware IMHO. This explanation (from the ArchLinux wiki) may help us understanding the issue better. :) "Setting "boot" flag in parted in a MBR partition marks that partition as active, while the same "boot" flag in a GPT partition marks that partition as "UEFI System Partition""
BTW what is your definition of ESP?
EFI System Partition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFI_System_partition You could also consult UEFI spec for more elaborate description (Probably in chapter 5 "GUID Partition Table (GPT) Disk Layout"). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
