Hello,
some friend of me asked me to install ubuntu on his asus 1225b computer, wipping all trace of windows.
So I inserted the unbuntu 13.04 disk, installed without problem... and couldn't boot it, error "no system found".
This is uefi bios, gpt disk.
So I inserted the openSUSE 13.1 dvd... and... same punishment!!
I tried all what passed in my mind: verifying /boot/EFI partition was mounted (it was), trying to set a boot flag (not available in efi/gpt system), even trying to add manually efi system files ("Windows Boot Manager.efi" or "Shellx64.efi" as the bios seemed to ask for.. nope. Even tried ELILO without more success.
I now try to install with standard MBR and grub2 (non efi), and hope to succeed.
but I would really like to install with efi/gpt system, let only for the record :-))
any idea?
thanks jdd (I wonder if an double boot system would have worked, any people testing thies on this pretty common computer?)
I turned off EFI as I only had one OS to install (openSUSE). If you don't intend to ever use MS again That may be the way to go. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
