Hi,
Both Leap 42.1 and 42.2 take efibootmgr from SLE, which is version 0.6.0 with various patches.
Tumbleweed has 0.12 already.
For comparison: Debian Jessy has 0.11, Sid has 14. Version 0.6.0 dates back to 2013 [1] Version 0.12 dates back to at least February 2016 [2] In July 2016 they dropped the preceding 0
Can we have a Version Bump to at least the same Version Factory has? And thus bump the version for SLE too?
Problem: On my Microsoft Surface Pro 4 grub2-install calls efibootmgr which exists with status=8000000000000002
There already exist a couple bug reports for that from fedora, launchpad (ubuntu) and others - although for other devices. These bug reports date back between 2 and 4 years already.
Newer Versions of efibootmgr don't seem to have this issue anymore, as I had successfully installed Tumbleweed, Debian Jessie and Debian Sid on my Surface. Only the version in Leap 42.x got this problem.
Thus updating to a newer version - which has already been tested for a while in Tumbleweed, would not only fix this issue but also add support for other newer devices
Since I can't add a EFI Menu Entry from within the EFI manually I am stuck with an installed Linux that can't be booted.
I could try using a Live USB Key and edit the Grub entries on it to boot the installed Leap, but that could only do as a temp fix.
