Morning all,
I wanted to install openSUSE 13.1 on a Sony Vaio SVE1713A6EW. Installation of openSUSE 13.1 from DVD, update repos enabled during installation. Fastboot and hibernation of W8 was switched off before
Following the system recommendation the W8 data partition was reduced, and bootloader was set to /dev/sda3
System boots fine using UEFI and secure boot. Sounds pretty perfect up to here.
Then, from the GRUB boot menu, W8 was chosen for boot. Afterwards, GRUB was never displayed again, In fact I was unable to boot oS13.1 again.
I used the rescue system and tried various settings. See https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=586490 for a detailed description (openDocument Format, 3.1MB with some pictures in it)
The fact that I dont see a 'consistent' EFI boot entry set makes me believe it might be a firmware bug.
