It indicated a failure of "mkinitrd". However, "initrd" appears to have been correctly built. I believe it to be a grub2-efi install failure. I managed to get into the system (booting with the grub menu from a 12.3 system). I attempted to reinstall grub2-efi again. There was a similar popup window indicating a grub2-efi install failure. I tried several times, each with the same result. The initial install problem might be related to Bug 812266 comment 6. At least some of my attempts were after fixing that problem, disabling secure boot, and making sure that there would be no nvram conflicts. I'll note that all of the relevant files were installed in "/boot/efi/EFI/opensuse_alt". The NVRAM entry was not installed (probably the cause of the error), and "/boot/grub2/grub.cfg" was not built. I ran "grub2-mkconfig" to correct that latter problem. Shortly after the failure (before booting into the system), I booted the install DVD in rescue mode. I attempted to force-add an NVRAM entry with "efibootmgr -c". There was no error message, but "efibootmgr -v" done immediately afterward showed that no entry had been added. I'm not sure whether that is related. I was able to force-add an entry by booting the 12.3 rescue live CD, and using "efibootmgr -c" from there.
