Description Ludwig Nussel 2013-03-07 16:43:21 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #807823 +++

This only affects machines in UEFI mode
When using the installer on the live medium yast2 does not detect UEFI mode and therefore installs the legacy bootloader which results in a not bootable system. The bootloader has to be swiched to grub2-efi manually.
