my /mnt/boot has no kernel no initrd no nothing at the end of the install just /mnt/boot/efi I am downloading build 0575 now

An additional follow up to this:

I tried installing in a non-UEFI box, from the same USB (with openSUSE-Factory-KDE-Live-x86_64-Build0575-Media.iso ).

The same thing happened. There were no kernels in "/boot".

Just a small 'chime-in' here from my side: tested the same yesterday with GNOME live usb (build 575) and the results are very equal.

An additional problem arose. The install screen complained that the boot settings were incompatible with the system. On checking, it turned out that the installer had defaulted to using grub2-efi (on this non-efi system). That was easy enough to fix, but this needs to be correct by the time that 13.1 is released.

Seen that one as well; it's inverted to what we had in 12.3, where UEFI boxes tried to install the non-efi grub2.

I'm not posting a bug report yet. I'll wait till 13.1 Milestone 3 is announced. And if that uses a different build, then I will retest before reporting as a bug.

I'd say it already warrants for a bug report: if the 'daily' builds don't have it, you can be very sure that a Milestone, which is 'just a propagation' of one of the builds to be 'the milestone' won't be different.

I do now have both systems (UEFI and non-UEFI) booting normally and running. But it took some rescuing effort to get them going.

As I needed Factory, I went to install 12.3 and dup to Factory to avoid the installer issues.. but clearly not where we must be heading. Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
