This is running in a KVM virtual machine (64-bit), where I am using the 32-bit efi firmware: UEFI i686: /usr/share/qemu/ovmf-ia32-code.bin

Because this is not fully supported by openSUSE, I manually reinstall grub when I see that it has been updated. That usually goes smoothly. But this time, it produced an error: ---- begin transcript ---- # grub2-install --target=i386-efi Installing for i386-efi platform. Could not delete variable: Invalid argument grub2-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: Block device required. ---- end transcript ----

As a crosscheck, I ran "efibootmgr"

---- begin transcript ---- # efibootmgr BootCurrent: 0001 Timeout: 0 seconds BootOrder: 0001,0000,0009 Boot0000* UiApp Boot0001* opensuse Boot0009* EFI Internal Shell ---- end transcript ----

The needed entry for "opensuse" is there. However, it was already there previously, so it is possible that the call to "efibootmgr" failed.

The appropriate boot files were updated (in "/boot/grub2" and in "/boot/efi/EFI/opensuse". And the system still boots.

I also updated Tumbleweed in a VM using x86_64 efi. So I tried manually installing there (with "shim-install"). I did not see any comparable error message.

Reproducible: Always

We do not support mixed mode ( 32-bit EFI firmware + 64-bit openSUSE ) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
