[Bug 846831] New: The openSUSE 13.1 RC1 install medium is not able to load the kernel when booted via UEFI
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=846831 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=846831#c0 Summary: The openSUSE 13.1 RC1 install medium is not able to load the kernel when booted via UEFI Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 13.1 Version: RC 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader AssignedTo: jsrain@suse.com ReportedBy: rguenther@suse.com QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: Development Blocker: --- When not using the legacy boot option to boot the RC1 install DVD medium then, while grub starts just fine, the install system does not boot because grub cannot load the kernel. On the grub command-line the kernel file is clearly visible in the path it tries to load, so this seems to be a bug in grub? The system is an Intel DHSK3 software development platform (Haswell) with up-to-date firmware. -- 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.

Hi Richard,
How about using USB as installation media ? Are you using AHCI mode ?
Yes, I am using AHCI mode, I did not try using USB as install media (not sure how to set that up and I am currently lacking a USB stick at the office).

Stops with reading 0x980 sectors at the secrot 0xa9d0 from cd0 closing cd0 which would confirm the large read issue.
And also try use other mode (like IDE) if available to check whether it's AHCI specific or not ?
Doesn't work with IDE mode either. -- 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.

No, I didn't see an error. Previous reads were all short though.
I'm trying to figure out what's other possibilities. Could you identify this a "regression" bug or not of openSUSE ?
I'm sure it will affect SLE12. Not sure if any UEFI DVD media ever worked.
Thanks.
