"error: you need to load the kernel first." so not sure this is really a duplicate.

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). The DVD works fine when booting via legacy BIOS. -- 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.

In addition, please help to grab some log from your grub shell ? Press 'e' to enter editing mode and add this line

set debug=efidisk

And F10 or Ctrl+X to boot.

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.

Even without "error: Can't read kernel /boot/x86_64/loader/linux." ? How about this (sorry these are pretty blind shots ) ? press 'c' to enter command mode set debug=all /boot/x86_64/loader/linux boot -- 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.

Yes.

this (sorry these are pretty blind shots ) ?

press 'c' to enter command mode set debug=all /boot/x86_64/loader/linux boot

with that the fail is already Detecting iso9660... reading 0x10 sectors at the sector 0x3a0 from cd0 Closing `cd0' closing cd0 I can mount the disk quite fine and also read /boot/x86_64/loader/linux. -- 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.
