[Bug 778520] New: UEFI Enabled laptop - openSUSE not booting

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=778520 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=778520#c0 Summary: UEFI Enabled laptop - openSUSE not booting Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: 64bit OS/Version: Windows 7 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: anditosan1000@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/21.0.1180.83 Safari/537.1 I was able to create a partition for openSUSE. The USB drive booted properly and installed properly with no errors. I changed the BIOS to select UEFI first and then the USB was able to boot. However, after finishing the installation and rebooting the computer, there was no boot loader that would allow me to chose either windows or openSUSE and Windows loaded automatically. The web says that there should be an update to Grub 2 so that it can actually load openSUSE. But I am not as technical and this is over my head right now. Please help.

The problem seems to have been a bad image for my usb flash drive. I redownloaded 12.2 unzipped the image onto the flash drive and openSUSE installed correctly. I am writing this report from a 12.2 rc 2 installed system. Thank you for the help.
