No idea what it means, Josef mentions it's because of UEFI support. The logs are here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=337370 - the machine still boots if ignoring this error. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It is surprise for me that enebled UEFI in BIOS allows you to boot from GRUB. OK I can updated checking of supported scenarios and solve the problem. Yes it is only warning message. You can ignore it. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I didn't check your "hardware" ;-) Probably I have to change detection of UEFI :-( -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

May be you could check, that '/sys/firmware/efi/systab' is accessible and "reasonable" after loading 'efivars'? E.g. like
cat /sys/firmware/efi/systab MPS=0x0 ACPI20=0x9fbfe014 ACPI=0x9fbfe000 SMBIOS=0x9f93b000 HCDP=0x0 BOOTINFO=0x0 UGA=0x0
Coolo, what does your "machine" expose there? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So I'd advise to 'modprobe' for 'efivars' as before, but instead of checking the outcome of module-loading (which fails for compiled-in 'efivars' anyways, see ia64) you should test the existence of '/sys/firmware/efi/systab'. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
