I did an DVD update from 42.1. to 42.3. Everything worked good but at the end the system is not booting.
The Message is:
“error: no such device: /efi/boot/fallback.efi”
Hardware is a notebook with one disk - nothing special.
I can boot the system with the DVD menue “Boot Linux System”
When booting von sda, the one and only disk
sda3:/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.114-42-default
everything is fine - good working suse.
What is the way to fix the boot-problem?
… well, you could try the Yast=>Boot Loader module, make a change in there of any sort, and see if it the reinstall of Grub2 fixes the problem.
I did many changes in Yast–> Boot Loader.
But the system ends farther with the message “EFI Directory not found”
Is there a little bit more specific action I can do?
Please help
The point is not to change the defaults just change something then back to trick the software into thinking a change has been made force it to reinstall. Randomly changing things will break something:O
When you boot the installed OS via the DVD, what is reported by the following?
fdisk -l
parted -l
… and, also, the output from
cat /etc/default/grub_installdevice

Also, give the output from:
blkid
and your current boot command line from in Yast=>Bootloader, the Resume= line is what I want to also see.
cat /proc/cmdline
What’s the output from
/usr/sbin/efibootmgr
Thanks, yes, deano.

Sorry to ask for still more info, but get bootinfoscript and give us the output from it.
I don’t see a boot flag anywhere, but neither do I see where the bootloader was installed. All your activity with YaST2 bootloader may have removed a needed boot flag. Efibootmgr shows the internal HD isn’t considered a boot device, but I’m not convinced whether your openSUSE is configured to boot in legacy or UEFI mode. The script will explain everything.
Well, that cannot be right. Here is an example of what the boot commandline should look like:
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.12.14-lp150.12.4-default root=UUID=d66e5378-1d38-412e-92d5-afdd11323925 resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/47dff67a-48d7-46a1-84fa-adacb49b8130 splash=verbose showopts
… and this says that your Notebook Hard Drive (0000) is not even in the BootOrder.
And, this is UEFI-related.
