[opensuse] [12.3 64Bit KDE] - UEFI Boot Info Lost In BIOS/Can't Boot OS ?
[12.3 64Bit KDE] - UEFI Boot Info Lost In BIOS/Can't Boot OS ? Hi, I have Microsoft Windows 8 Pro 64Bit installed on one HDD. I have openSUSE 12.3 64Bit KDE installed on another HDD. I have a motherboard which supports UEFI booting. I was running openSUSE 12.3 64Bit KDE since release with no problems. I recently temporarily swapped openSUSE HDD for the Windows 8 HDD. Windows booted fine and I was able to do what I needed to do. When I was finished with Windows 8 HDD I swapped it for openSUSE HDD. Problem now is openSUSE HDD wont boot? The UEFI boot information in the BIOS has been lost for my openSUSE OS? Anyone know how to fix the above? I need to occasionally swap openSUSE & Win 8 HDD's. Thanks!

Jesse Hi Can you select an efi file to boot from the BIOS boot menu? If so you could then browse to the openSUSE grubx64.efi select and boot. You would then need to check the efi entries via efibootmgr and add the openSUSE entry manually.
Or does your system provide a built in efi shell which could then change to the EFI directory, select and boot. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 12.3 (x86_64) Kernel 3.7.10-1.4-desktop up 1 day 20:35, 4 users, load average: 0.14, 0.13, 0.09 CPU AMD Athlon(tm) II P360@2.30GHz | GPU Mobility Radeon HD 4200 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I looked in the BIOS before - no UEFI boot option is listed for the openSUSE HDD. I tried just booting the HDD without UEFI and it does nothing. I don't see a method in the BIOS to manually do anything. Not sure it helps, but I have an ASUS SaberTooth 990FX Gen2 motherboard(AMD) Thanks!

Jesse Hi Looking at the user manual, under the boot menu item ez mode there is an advanced option or F8 key, nothing you can do there?
Else boot the openSUSE dvd rescue mode and see if you can access the EFI via efibootmgr command. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 12.3 (x86_64) Kernel 3.7.10-1.4-desktop up 0:51, 3 users, load average: 0.34, 0.42, 0.29 CPU AMD Athlon(tm) II P360@2.30GHz | GPU Mobility Radeon HD 4200 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
