Hello Carlos and all,
Thank you for your reply. I've reinstalled Leap 15, a clean single install, Mint has been removed.
@Knurpht: I changed the delay to 7, 6, and 5 secs in YaST's bootloader module. This made no difference, Leap 15 still wouldn't boot from the HDD.
Using Hiren's rescue disk, I am able to boot Leap 15.
The output from bootinfoscript (output.txt) is in the zipped attachment.
I hope this is helpful. Many thanks for taking the time!

If 15 were installed I'd try running "bootinfoscript" and examine the result or post it here.
You can obtain it here <https://github.com/arvidjaar/bootinfoscript> Isn't that missing the small /boot/efi vfat partition?
Not needed if booting in BIOS mode. Is it? The report says that Grub2 is installed on the MBR of /dev/sda, and the rest of grub is on sda2. For some reason the BIOS in his machine doesn't see this and says there is no operating system installed. There is also a small bios boot partition on sda1. I would try something. One, make sure that the bios is set to boot on legacy mode, not EFI. Although I think if the computer is old, there will be no chance of EFI anyway. Then, on YaST, load the boot module, and select: store default boot sector on MBR grub is on "/" partition, not on MBR Something else? Maybe boot from sda2 - I'm working from memory, not looking at a similar setup. Hum, booting another computer to look at it. [...] Ok: [X] Boot from boot partition [X] Write generic boot code to MBR Bootloader is Grub2. That should be it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.0 (Legolas))
