Hi I have a multiboot test system that has the following directories under EFI;
- Boot [Windows 10] - Microsoft [Windows 10 - SuSE [SLED 11 SP4] - opensuse [Tumbleweed]
I'm wanting to install Leap, however which directory do I need to move/rename/re-create efi nvram entries so it's not overwritten; SuSE or opensuse?
Or does Leap create a new directory without interfering with the other entries?
You can manually set Distributor to any arbitrary string, EFI directory name is the first word in Distributor.
On a side note, I'm using Tumbleweed's grub menu for booting and do note that it uses the 'MS Windows' icon for the entry to SLED 11, is there an easy fix for this?
Yes, 30_os-prober is not very sofisticated, it adds --class windows for every EFI loader it sees. This is oversight, it was initially created with Windows in mind only; later elilo detection was added. I suspect SUSE comes from this; but we do not really know what OS is loaded in this case. Windows at least has well known bootloader name; but even elilo can in principle be configured to load anything, not necessarily Linux. If someone have suggestion how to manage it better ... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
