While you're waiting for someone who knows this better than I do . . . This was after a zypper up or zypper dup? Or are you using snapshot media? The shim is bootstrap code used with EFI/UEFI firmware. It sounds like you are using EFI/UEFI and possibly Secure Boot. (I don't suppose you've been twiddling with this in your BIOS or recently installed a different linux distro or a different non-openSUSE kernel?) Your description sounds like grub2 was not properly installed. Could be a number of reasons. Here is a forum thread which dealt with that problem. https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/534275-How-to-reinstall-grub2-efi... Or this from the SUSE doc's . . . https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=000019196 More background: https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book-opensuse-ref... https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:UEFI --dg
