Is legacy boot no longer supported in 15.2.
If fails because I have legacy Boot and it wants UEFI.
This is a bad sign as I have may older computers that do not have UEFI.
Ironically Mint Linux still support in 18.3 and 19.2. I rather run OpenSUSE as I have for 12 years. I really don’t like Ubuntu and Deb format - rather have rpm format.
Legacy boot is fine. I have two computers and one virtual machine with 15.2 using legacy BIOS booting.

I think that means that your computer is capable of UEFI booting, and you booted the install media with UEFI. See if you can boot the installer with legacy booting. Or, during the update, go into the “Booting” section and change the bootloader from “grub2-efi” back to “grub2”.
The machine I installed it on does not have UEFI nor does the OpenSUSE 15.1 that I attempted to update to 15.2. The Virtualbox system does NOT have the special efi box clicked on.
It failed because the OS image was legacy boot.
The 15.2 iso was downloaded today.
Ironically - A fresh install to a virgin disk of 15.2 in Virtualbox did install as legacy boot.
You just cannot upgrade 15.1 to 15.2 legacy image. It give an error that it is Legacy and not UEFI in red.
I might try removing swap and make it /boot/efi and format it FAT to see if that might fool the update logic.
too late today to try.
That only happens if you boot the install media with UEFI.
I recently upgraded 15.0 to 15.2 in legacy mode. This was in a KVM virtual machine. It went very well.

You can just click on the “Booting” heading, and change the bootloader from “grub2-efi” to “grub2”. Then continue the update in legacy mode.
Mouse was stuck in upper corner - I am running Virtualbox 6.1.4 from the Opensuse Virtualization library on a 15.1 host - the 4/4/2020 update seems to have a major bug all windows no matter what display driver used are stuck at 1024x800 resolution. I will try again with the tab key and see if I can find that option.
Okay.
I have not been using virtualbox, so I can’t comment on that. KVM virtual machines have been working well for 15.2 guests.
It appears that grub is selected but it still says cannot update UEFI and legacy not supported.
The installed without update worked fine - I just did a zypper se -si | awk “{print $3}” | grep -v openSUSE > list and then I installed all the applications in my new 15.2 virtual machine.
I added the packman and teamviewer repos.
