[opensuse-support] Just how crippled is 15.0 DVD rescue boot known to be?
I selected rescue from DVD boot to try to fix a corrupted EFI configuration after installing OS X added another EFI system partition, which along with the rest of installed OS X partitions I deleted, then recreated to my specifications. I expected a GUI, but didn't get one. I used efibootmgr to reaffirm that openSUSE is first in list, but Mac BIOS apparently ignores it. I tried to fix it with YaST2 from another rescue boot, but apparently YaST2 isn't on the 15.0 DVD. So I rebooted again but selected boot from HD. That fails with "error: no such device: /dev/boot/fallback.efi." So I rebooted again, this time typing in a complete Grub stanza from scratch, but it produced "error: can't find command 'load_video'; error: can't find command 'linux'; can't find command 'initrd'". I tried again but with linuxefi and initrdefi. After stumbling over can't find load_video again it proceeded to boot. What's the secret on a UEFI system to "repair" the bootloader or boot the installed system, boot a 42.3 DVD? |ID |ux|Dr|Type, description|Format |Related |VolumeLabel|OS2-LVM/BM / GPT / Crypt / additional in| Size MiB | +--</dev/sda MBR disk 1>--------+--------+-----------<ST1000DM003-1SB1>-----------------------+-----------+ |01 | 1| |Prim ee GPT-guard|Prot-MBR|GPT/EFI | | 74706daf | 953869.7| |02 | 1| |Windows BasicData|FAT16 |mkfs.fat|ST10-ESP |sda1 EFI System (ESP) | 368.0| |03 | 2| |Mac OS X HFS+ |unknown |macOS | |sda2 Mac OS X HFS+ system | 36750.0| |04 | 3| |Mac OS X HFS+ |unknown |macOS | |sda3 Mac OS X HFS+ data | 440000.0| |05 | 4| |Linux Swap |SWAP |LinuxV1 |SWAPSPACE2 |sda4 Linux Swap | 4224.0| |06 | 5| |Linux Data |EXT4 |Linux |st10suselea|sda5 openSUSE Leap | 32526.0| |07 | 6| |Linux Data |XFS |Linux | |sda6 Linux /home | 440000.0| |08 | | |Fsp + GPT pta/hdr|-- -- --|-- -- --|- - - - - -|Size 0x58f sectors | 0.695| # parted -l Model: ATA ST1000DM003-1SB1 (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 1000GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 1049kB 387MB 386MB fat32 sda1 EFI System (ESP) boot, hidden, esp 2 387MB 38.9GB 38.5GB sda2 Mac OS X HFS+ system 3 38.9GB 500GB 461GB sda3 Mac OS X HFS+ data 4 500GB 505GB 4429MB linux-swap(v1) sda4 Linux Swap swap 5 505GB 539GB 34.1GB ext4 sda5 openSUSE Leap 6 539GB 1000GB 461GB xfs sda6 Linux /home On boot with manually typed grub stanza I changed the Grub timeout in YaST2, which inexplicably created a new initrd identical to the existing one, but did fix HD booting at least until I install OS X again.

On Mac file must be "blessed" to be accepted by frmware. I think it is possible to "bless" the whole partition (at least I vaguely remember I did it). grub2 includes grub2-bless utility, you may try it.

If you are talking about the rescue system included in the installation DVD, that one is a small text only Linux system. However, there is a "Live rescue CD" at <https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.0/live/>, and this one should be a full blown XFCE system, designed for usb sticks.
On boot with manually typed grub stanza I changed the Grub timeout in YaST2, which inexplicably created a new initrd identical to the existing one, but did fix HD booting at least until I install OS X again.
Changing the grub2 timeout in yast is known to force writing it all again to disk ;-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
