http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=963496 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=963496#c5 --- Comment #5 from Jean-Daniel Dodin --- Goal: install Leap from the dvd (in fact usb stick) I worked a lot, with partial result, explained below, sorry to be a bit long. The grub-efi 32 bits package is available on Tumbleweed. Why on earth is a package available with no use at all? I guess that the grub2-i386-efi-2.02~beta2-55.1.i586.rpm is there for some use. I could extract the grub.efi (32 bits) from this package. right now, I can navigate from the grub console (I start with the debian dvd, 32 bits uefi) to the openSUSE Leap dvd, but the hybrid structure is a bit confusing. I just notice (I forgot that) that the kernel name is simply "linux", not vmlinuz(s). I can do this because I have two usb ports, I use debian on one and Leap on the other. like this I could start the Leap install, choose defaults and the install went well. BUT. It of course didn't boot (64 bits grub.efi). I couldn't start it with the debian dvd, because Debian do not read btrfs :-( So I had to build my own usb stick with an EFI partition with openSUSE Tumbleweed 32 bits grub. On this computer, the partition not only must be FAT32 and flagged type 1 (EFI, GPT), but also must be the first one on the stick, else it's not seen. Finally I could start my installed Leap with some sort of: set root=(hd1,gpt6)/@/ linux (hd1,gpt6)/@/boot/vmlinuz nomodeset initrd (hd1,gpt6)/@/boot/initrd boot don't know what is the /@, it's added automatically by the TAB completion and the system don't boot if omitted. from the started Leap, I could copy the 32 bits grub to the Leap install (gpt1) and register it from Windows 10 with easyuefi. I still have to automate the boot. Leap runs pretty well on this machine, with the problem (same on debian) than the screen is rotated 90°, that is in tablet format, when the keyboard and the touchpad are connected on the long side, so the screen is left turned, very unfriendly. Bur as long as I have to use framebuffer, I don't think there is a X solution (rotating works with console only). so it's possible... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Mine is from grub2-i386-efi-2.02~beta2-55.1.i586.rpm, but any may work. add next to the grub.efi file a grub.cfg file wit something like ........ set btrfs_relative_path="yes" search --fs-uuid --set=root 28efb6d2-1287-4f29-b38b-b383b89d6568 set timeout=10 menuentry "Jean-Daniel's openSUSE Leap 42.1 nomodeset" { linux /boot/vmlinuz nomodeset initrd /boot/initrd } .............. do not copy the dots, do not forget the braces {}, adapt to what the previous steps said about your disk/partition. you have to find a way to register this in the nvram, using easyefi (windows) or any efi capable rescue disk (32bits!). I couldn't find a way to write to the EFI partition from Windows. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm a bit surprised to see you have that much difficulties:

I installed Leap with defaults, and it was a mistake, debian grub do not read btrfs (at least without his modules, and there is not enough room for them). I had to build my own stick with openSUSE 32 bits grub

I'm in the process of preparing an article on this - but as it's focus is on machine-specific difficulties (mixed-mode EFI is just one of these), it may take some more days until I'm ready to publish...

doing the same, a bit long. Work in progrss here http://dodin.info/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Doc.UEFIBoot thanks jdd -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
