The problem is simple : I own a tablet : ASUS Transformer T100TA, but the Acer Aspire Switch 10 is also affected. (this bug concerning ubuntu : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1341944) Symtom: I can't install OpenSuSE because of a specific component : UEFI is 32-bit, despite the Processor architecture 64bit. " Intel released a new Atom iteration (Bay Trail) in late 2013 and has indicated that they will continue to develop and release Atom CPUs due to consumer market demand. At the time of this filing there are a number of Atom-based tablets and compact laptops/netbooks being actively sold and marketed by major OEMs including Dell, HP, ASUS, and Acer. None of these devices have 64-bit UEFI firmware. It is also important to note that these Atom CPUs are 64-bit, but explicitly require a 32-bit UEFI bootloader. " We need a Grub2 32-bit EFI enabled for booting the installation process. Thanks a lot
