Re: Upgrade 9.2->9.3 amd64 issues - device not configured



Hi Martin,

now what MS-DOS partition does it want to mess around and not finding?
The EFI boot partition (to upgrade the bootloader) - this is a bug, apparently
your hard disk uses BIOS booting, while the installer booted via UEFI from
CD, and this confuses sysinst.

seems I always put my foot in bugs...

If I go into the StartUp menu on boot I go into BIOS, however there is a setting "UEFI Mode" which is unset. A warning appears that UEFI is only for development, not warranted or supported by HP. So I don't suppose I ever enabled it.

Could it be that a setting changed when installing compared to upgrading?

As a test, I enabled and booting drom HDD still says "BIOS Boot"
The CDROM says then UEFI boot. Without the flag, it says "BIOS Boot".

So could it be that while booting BIOS there are UEFI traces? What do you suggest to do now?
