Hello!

Hi. "EFI Bios" is oxymoron. You boot using either (U)EFI firmware or legacy BIOS.

...

Out of curiosity I've tried to enable UEFI and to setup opensuse via a USB stick containing the 12.3RC net-install CDROM.

The installation runs nicely, but at the end I can't boot from the partition (it's a physical PC containing only one hard-disk with only the installation I've tried).

With this amount of information ... you boot from HDD partition or USB stick partition? You boot using BIOS or UEFI? Do you get any error? At which point (BIOS, bootloader, kernel)?

...

After that I tried a installation with grub-efi, but this (and the elilo selection) told me that it does not support booting x86_64 versions...

I do not believe grub-efi can speak so you need to be more specific - what you did and what output you got.

...

Are there any guidelines which can help me? Does anybody have experience with EFI?

I do not know if this is supposed to be supported natively by installer, but installing grub2 on USB stick for UEFI boot is certainly possible manually.

Hi That all depends on the UEFI support on the board.... what is the model? Again, when you boot the system in UEFI, can you browse to the efi file and select to boot from it? I have an HP ProBook 4525s that is very lacking but works, I can browse to the openSUSE efi file and boot from it, then do some hacking, as in creating the MS file structure and copying grubx64.efi to bootmgfw.efi as I cannot set openSUSE as boot option via efibootmgr :( -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 12.2 (x86_64) Kernel 3.4.11-2.16-desktop up 4 days 20:15, 4 users, load average: 0.01, 0.04, 0.05 CPU Intel® i5 CPU M520@2.40GHz | GPU Intel® Ironlake Mobile -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
