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.

Fix in SVN:

3.4. Wrong Bootloader When Installing from a Live Medium in a UEFI Environment

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