The Gigabyte logo splash screen, shown right after power up, shows only briefly and does show a couple of function key menu options and it also tells the user to use the Del key to access the BIOS settings. That's when you need your finger on the F12 key. When it goes right, you get this (MBR/Legacy): http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Suse/YaST/150/150-BIOSmenu.jpg
Thanks Felix! That did the trick. I was able to select the right version of the DVD drive to boot from the choices (non UEFI) and was able to proceed and complete the installation of a new OpenSuSE 15.0. GIGABYTE sure does not give one much time to hit that F12 key or even display the message telling you that is an option. I have simply ignored it in the past because it just blinks on then almost immediately goes off.... There was only one additional hiccup but I have seen it before in the past and was able to solve it also. After I did the installation and the system rebooted the GRUB menu did show me all the versions of OpenSuSE that I could choose from to boot up (in different partitions) I chose of course the new version of OpenSuSE that I had just installed and it booted up just fine. I then had it get all the updates from the repositories and then I rebooted again. This time however the GRUB menu only gave me one choice for booting up, just the version of OpenSuSE15.0 that I had just installed. The other choices for the past versions of OpenSuSE were gone. So I went ahead and booted the new system up, then went into the YaST Bootloader app and had it rebuild the GRUB menus making sure it probed for all OS's. And that worked. Like I said I have seen that before so there is a bug somewhere that causes the GRUB installer to lose the entries in the menu for other OS's.
