https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=687273 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=687273#c0 Summary: DVD installation of openSuSE11.4 fails on system with UEFI firmware Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.4 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: arindam.nath@amd.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=424730) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=424730) Screenshot of the failure message during installation User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.16) Gecko/20110319 Firefox/3.6.16 While installing openSuSE11.4 x86_64 on a system with UEFI firmware, the installation fails just at the end while installing bootloader. The message displays "/sbin/elilo: no such file or directory". Looking into the installation DVD, efibootmgr and elilo packages are missing. If we directly install openSuSE11.4 from the repository, installation finishes fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable UEFI in BIOS. 2. Drop to the UEFI shell, and start the installation from DVD. Actual Results: Installation fails at the end with error message "/sbin/elilo: no such file or directory". Expected Results: Installation should complete without fail. The issue has been found to reproduce on AMD Cobia platform, but this should be a generic issue for UEFI based installation. -- 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.

Even during installation from openSuSE11.4 repository, efibootmgr is not selected by default in the Software packages. So we have to select it manually from the list of selected items. Screenshot attached. Thanks, Arindam -- 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.
