https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=833257 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=833257#c0 Summary: Toshiba EFI firmware seems to ignore EFI BootXXXX variables. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader AssignedTo: jsrain@suse.com ReportedBy: arvidjaar@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0 There are two reports on forums which indicate that Toshiba EFI firmware insists on using fixed path \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI instead of evaluating BootXXXX environment variables. So after installation of openSUSE it continue to boot whatever bootloader was there before. This probably can be workaround in yast/pbl if we can reliably identify broken systems. So far reports were for Toshiba L70-A Laptop and Ultrabook Z930. References https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/install-boot-log...
