https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=801348 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=801348#c4 --- Comment #4 from Hendrik Müller <poolbarde@web.de> 2013-02-02 00:00:55 UTC --- I found a workaround how I'm be able to install opensuse 12.2: 1. Create a small partition on the hard disk (in my case using GPT). 2. Copy content of installation DVD into that partition. 3. Boot from DVD using UEFI boot (CSM mode disabled). 4. Installation will fail, because DVD is not found. We end up in the ncursed environment with message 'Make sure that CD number 1 is in your drive'. 5. Click 'Back'. 6. Choose language. 7. Choose KEyboard layout. 8. Chate 'Start Installation' 9. Choose 'Start Installation/Update' 10. Choose 'Harddisk' 11. Select the partition you created before. 12. As Source directory choose '/' 13. Installation starts now. 14. When choosing the partition layout, opensuse always delete my EFI partition where my other bootloaders are located (further it also deletes all my recovery partitions - in my case 2). Without that partition my UEFI BIOS does not know what to do. So we need to take care, that non of the existing partitions (that I want to keep) are deleted. Mount the UEFI partition (sda1 in my case) to /boot/efi directory. Now installation runs and I'm able to boot windows or linux system using the UEFI boot manager. -- 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.
