Yes, I know that this is actually possible, but it is something of a trick. Does openSUSE support that combination? Because recently you told me that «Well ... theoretically UEFI specification defines "Legacy BIOS Bootable" partition attribute. In practice, you probably will need to write code that handles it yourself».

I was wrong - syslinux already has it. I won't be surprised if (open)SUSE already includes it ...

That's very interesting, thanks :-) I have to do some disk replacements on this computer, I think I will try that method. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
