I'm pretty sure that the boot flag is not set at this point of the install. I think at least in the case of SLE it is the boot loader install at the end of the 1st install phase that sets the boot flag just before rebooting. I'll try setting the boot flag when I get back to the office. Do you think I can set it during the install and just retry the grub install, or do I need to start over with the boot flag set? I don't know if the flag is persistent with a new installation proposal.
You should set it before you really start your installation. The purpose is to have yast storage to detect it as ESP partition correctly thus propose to (re)use it. So you never have to bother to point /boot/efi to that partition and format it on your own, let smart auto configuration do things for you. :)
I restarted the install and accepted the default partitioning proposal which of course re-formated the entire drive. I checked the partition table as soon as the disk prep was complete and /boot/efi partiton was marked bootable. Install completed successfully.
And please use parted and steps described above , don't use fdisk as it doesn't understand gpt.
Yes I'm aware of that. -- 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.
