   This discussion is going way off-topic, but I'll go a bit deeper into   
   this problem.   
   The Leap 15.2 Install dvd does some pre-install analysis of the hardware   
   and the bios, as it should.  I'm not sure how this works but on my test   
   system it essentially booted in EFI mode because the BIOS supports this,   
   and then got rather upset (dire warnings about unbootable systems) when   
   it "realised" it was supposed to be setting up and old-style-BIOS   
   install.  Those dire warnings turned out to be overrated, the install   
   ran correctly and the booted Leap 15.2 worked.   
   Then I tried to convert that machine to EFI boot and things got ugly.   
   This is what test-systems are for.  I have an idea how to go forwards   
   but it will take a day and some prep-work, it will also involve   
   comparing a Leap 15.2 EFI system with a Leap 15.2 old-style system - no   
   big deal because I have both.
