   Thanks again, Carlos.   
      
   But I could not activate a text console (and I insited ... :-) )   
      
   I reset the system once more. Means, reset PC, activated UEFI boot method   
   and reinstalled window 8.1 again. Booting under UEFI seems to work this time   
   (under Windows - tried it several times).   
   By the way, the rescue command was not successful, it kill itself later.   
      
   When I try to define manually the parameters in the installer, the message   
   is still here:   
      
   You have not assigned a root partition for installation. This does not work.   
   Assign the root mount point "/" to a partition. ...   
      
   I'm confuse here as I previously assigned 4 partition in windows (could no   
   do it in Leap ... did swap, /home, /root and /boot). Are there any specifics   
   on the parameters for root?   
   I chose formating option Ext4 and mounting point /root - nothing else (no   
   encrypt device). It still does not like my wish ...
