Hello everybody.

On my desktopcomputer I have 3 releases, 42.1, 42.2 and tumbleweed installed.

It is a uefi boot machine.

Each installation has his own partition and a root containing the grub of the specific release.

There is 1 efipartition.

On this efipartition there is only 1 directory named opensuse containing only 1 grub64.efi which point to grub in the last installed version in my case tumbleweed.

This file grub64.efi is overwritten with every opensuse install.

If I remove tumbleweed I have no correct grub64.efi !!!!

How can I create a new gub64.efi pointing to the current release leap 42.2 ?

During installation (or post installation in YaST) set Distributor to unique name in bootloader configuration, like opensuse_42_1, opensuse_42_2 etc. The first word of Distributor is used as name of directory under \EFI. Post installation: In yast "configure the bootloader" there is no place to modify the distributor it is even not mentioned. Where should I change the distributor ??? What should I run to create the new efi directory and grub64.efi ???

...

For the future:

To my opinion, if there are more releases installed there should be also different grub64.efi files and more boot-entries in efivars not all named 'opensuse'.

Have more fun with 42.2, Hans
