I did not think about it since I was trying to go strightforward in the installation process (and yes, I also saw also the notices about the introduction of brtfs file system for root partition). I agree with you about the separate boot partition, I am trying to recreate it in the existing installation. I already noticed that disks are now mounted by GUID, so I am expecting that there is no need to change fstab any more. On previous OpenSuse installations, disks were mounted by ID (/dev/disk/by-id). So I'll be back once I have more information about this attempt. I am guessing that this should be possible, and that I am missing something. So I have a correct partition setup but a system that is not booting and I cannot restore grub. with /dev/sdaX.Ībout the attempt to re-create the bootloader, I understood it, but I am now trying to restore it using OpenSuse Rescue Disk, and it fails too. For one the disk ID is different unless you are mounting by an independent ID like labels you will have to edit the /etc/fstabThank you for the hint.

I would never try to install grub on a btrfs partition. Several will not agree: I would use a separate /boot partition made inĮxt2. You are installing grub2 into a btrfs partition?

#CLONEZILLA IMAGE RESTORE WORKSTATION WILL NOT BOOT 64 BIT#
The only 64 bit target I found on the system is x86_64-efi, but when I force it with the related option the installer says that it cannot find the efi partition. By default grub2-install considers the system i386. I tried to follow this (old) guide:, but I am unable to figure out the correct settings. The obvious following attempt was to install bootloader from command line, using rescue image and grub2-install. I manually tried to recover the bootloader, but even the Rescue System keeps telling me that there is an error while installing the bootloader (yast gives no additional information). While partitions are restored correctly (I can mount them and see the files using a live image), bootloader is not getting restored.

Now, I installed OS 13.2, with default settings, and I tried to created an image from it (by the way, I followed their instruction website and I used the alternative ubuntu based version with support to UEFI secure boot, even if, from my understanding, it is not used by default on this version).

I've always installed the operating system on one PC and restored it by using Clonezilla ( ). I started with Suse 11, and now I am trying to switch to latest version, 13.2. It's years I am using OpenSuse for a set customized PC I am workin on.
