Now I am considering to try boot loader module in Yast2. I see there is an option to install "Grub2-EFI" (Now it's "Grub2" in there).
Would you recommend me to do so? Is it safe?
Yes, I recommend doing that. But it won't work. To do that, you will need your EFI system partition mounted as "/boot/efi". And you should add a line to "/etc/fstab" to make that permanent. When you switch to grub2-efi, it should mostly work. But you will get an error message. The problem is that information has to be written to NVRAM. And the attempt to do that will fail unless you booted in EFI mode. If your firmware gives you an efi shell, you might be able to do a final fixup from there. Otherwise, you can boot the install media to EFI mode, and then use the "efibootmgr" command to add the needed NVRAM entry. The man pages for "efibootmgr" are reasonably good, and a web search will give examples of what you need. You might also find reports of problems with UEFI booting of linux on HP systems. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
