After the updates had been installed, the system asked me to reboot. When I did, Windows was started instead of OpenSUSE. I rebooted again and brought up the boot device menu: No "opensuse" entry anymore, only two Windows entries. Using the rescue system, I took a look at the /boot/efi directory: one of the files had been changed roughly at the time of the online update. I tried grub2-efi-install to re-install the bootloader (a little tricky, since the rescue system does not include the grub2 executables and I had to mount the installed version's root directory to find them) and it changed the timestamp on the file again, but still the "opensuse" entry is not recognized by the BIOS. Details: I have two EFI system partitions on /dev/sda, but only the one created by Windows 7 is identified as "EFI System Partition" in parted, the one created by OpenSUSE appears to be just a standard fat32 partition with an "EFI" directory. Before the update, it seemed to work. I am using an Asus P9X79 Pro motherboard, the BIOS version is 2104, apparently the current one. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install OpenSUSE 12.2, create new GPT 2. Install Windows 7 3. Include Windows stanza (by hand) in 41_custom script to enable multi-booting 4. Install updates release on 8th of October, 2012 Actual Results: grub2 EFI partition no longer recognized, OpenSUSE cannot boot. Expected Results: Obviously, I would have expected OpenSUSE to boot. -- 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.
