When booting with the 64 bit KDE Live DVD RC2, starting the installed system is offered as option but an attempt to start the installed system results in the message error: file '/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi' not found.
But the file does exist in the EFI partition /dev/sda3 (compare bug 841426, comment 72).
Per your efibootmgr -v output firmware is expecting it in /dev/sda5, which is your windows partition currently in use. It looks like it used to be an EFI System Partition ... And there's five duplicated entries .. maybe leftover from production phase of windows preload ?? sda5 ntfs 108AE3548AE3353E /windows/C HD(5,425800,6ec5000,7b64ff3b-e062-4b75-aec7-b5f8fa073e88)File(\EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi) Boot0009* Windows Boot Manager HD(5,425800,1a936800,7b64ff3b-e062-4b75-aec7-b5f8fa073e88)File(\EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi) Boot000A* Windows Boot Manager HD(5,425800,1bed528f,7b64ff3b-e062-4b75-aec7-b5f8fa073e88)File(\EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi) Boot000B* Windows Boot Manager HD(5,425800,ea60000,7b64ff3b-e062-4b75-aec7-b5f8fa073e88)File(\EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi) Boot000C* Windows Boot Manager HD(5,425800,1d8cda8f,7b64ff3b-e062-4b75-aec7-b5f8fa073e88)File(\EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi) Boot000D* Windows Boot Manager HD(5,425800,18ffeafc,7b64ff3b-e062-4b75-aec7-b5f8fa073e88)File(\EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi) -- 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.

I tried what you proposed. The entry was added as Boot000. However, booting from the KDE Live stick was still not possible. After rebooting via grub2 the new entry was gone, as follows.
I suppose you have succeeded it (in comment#13).
I have even deleted all entries except Boot0005 with the effect that the entries Boot0007 and Boot0008 are restored.
My guess for the restoration is necessary for firmware update as boot variables recorded in nvram would be erased. But the implementation is too brute to not care about other boot variables.
Boot0008 is probably the result of an interim attempt to solve the boot problem by defining a separate EFI partition for openSUSE. But this did not work and I deleted this partition again for the nth installation of openSUSE on my computer.
OK. Thanks for clarification. But I do not understand why Boot0008 gets love from restoration but others don't ?
The following steps seem to be made on my Sony Vaio SV132A1CM: 1. The program \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi on the SONYSYS partition is started first.
Yes. It looks like so. As your BootNext: 0005 points to it. -- 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.
