Hello there,
I was a Leap 42.2 user for a long time and today I decided to switch to Tumbleweed.
My partitions were like this during installation:
| Name | size | type | mount point | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| sda1 | 100mb | efi boot | /boot/efi | this was the windows one |
| sda2 | 150mb | system res | idk | |
| sda3 | 350gb | ntfs | windows 10 partition | |
| sda4 | 450gb | ntfs | data drive for windows | |
| sda5 | 500mb | windows related | another windows related | |
| sda6 | 75gb | xfs | /home | home paritition |
| sda7 | 55gb | btrfs | / | root |
| sda8 | 5gb | swap | /swap | swap |
IMPORTANT: When I started the installation I was following this: https://tweakhound.com/2015/11/04/dual-boot-opensuse-leap-and-windows-10-uefi/
Here when I tried to edit the EFI Boot partition I didn’t have “/boot/efi” mount point. Idk why. There was only “/boot”. So I manually typed “/boot/efi”.
Another thing I want to mention is that there was Windows 10 recovery partition of size 20gb created by ASUS, I deleted that too.
This is what I had given, but in between it said some error and I had to restart the installation. I didn’t have to do the partitioning all over again as it detected what I wanted with a bit of difference.
It said in the final description like this:
sda1 will be “BIOS Grub” instead of “EFI boot”(I ignored assuming it knew what it was doing)
sda6 will be home with xfs
sda7 will be btrfs with root
sda8 will be swap
I clicked next and the installation was successful.
But when it restarted there was nothing! It booted into the USB again. I restarted again and went to boot options by pressing F2(Asus ROG 551). In the boot menu it showed nothing but “Transcend” and “Matabishi(or something)” thats all.
I booted into the USB and installed again but this time when I opened the partition manager it was like this.
| Name | size | type | mount point | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| sda1 | 100mb | BIOS Grub | this was the windows one | |
| sda2 | 150mb | system res | idk | |
| sda3 | 350gb | ntfs | windows 10 partition | |
| sda4 | 450gb | ntfs | data drive for windows | |
| sda5 | 500mb | windows related | another windows related | |
| sda6 | 75gb | xfs | /home | home paritition |
| sda7 | 55gb | btrfs | / | root |
| sda8 | 5gb | swap | /swap | swap |
| sda9 | 99mb | EFI Boot |
So I changed sda1 to EFI Boot and deleted sda9 and everything and made it like the first table.
And I installed again but no luck so far. These are the current images.
*Note: All info above is based on my memory during installation which can be trusted to certain extent.
This is the bootmenu:

When remove the USB drive and restart I’ll get this:

When I open expert partitioner I’ll get this:

The suggested partition is this:

Please help me with this. I can’t open my laptop at all.
