An alternative is to go the other way: set boot to pure UEFI instead of Legacy, and install again... Guessing that the bios is buggy (and that Mint knows how to handle it).
The above did the trick! Setting boot to pure UEFI in the BIOS, *before* starting the installation. In all my failed attempts to get the laptop booting from HD, I tinkered with the boot settings *after* the installation.
I am relieved that I can continue using SUSE, which is my favorite distribution :-)
Welcome! :-)) Yes, you have to change the BIOS settings before installation, so that the install program sees them and adjusts. Specially regarding boot, it is very different on UEFI or BIOS. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
