Where can I find log file?
I don’t have an answer. But I think I at least got the image (screenshot) to show.
I don’t know it’s related to software, because I cannot also change EFI settings. I select save and exit settings and older are selected on boot. Maybe move this thread to hardware?
It is probably a bug or feature of the vendor’s implementation of UEFI. I have two UEFI boxes (one by Dell, the other by Lenovo). And they behave very differently.
Have the same problem with Tumbleweed install, and now with Leap 42.3 install. I ignored the warning and it booted anyway. The installer writes a DOS partition table to the USB flash drive, so I have to boot in legacy mode. I wonder if that has anything to do with this error message? UEFI works well on my Lenovo ThinkPad P50 for several other distros. Now openSUSE 42.3 is installed. The game is on!
Did you install from a USB flash drive?
Looking at my install USB (which is “/dev/sdd” to install Leap 42.3), I see:
# fdisk -l /dev/sdd
Disk /dev/sdd: 7.5 GiB, 8004304896 bytes, 15633408 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos

/dev/sdd2 * 12032 9062399 9050368 4.3G 17 Hidden HPFS/NTFS
The installer should not write to that. However, if you created the installer USB in the recommended way, then it already had a DOS partition. Actually, that was the EFI partition used for UEFI booting.
I did not have any problem installing for UEFI boot on a Lenovo ThinkServer.
