   Ah. I see.   
      
   I bought "recently" a new computer replacement. The old one was BIOS   
   based, the later was UEFI based. I "moved" the openSUSE system, and   
   getting it to boot (in UEFI mode) was complicated and took several   
   iterations. In the end, it is working, it is this computer :-)   
      
   I can not describe what I did, though. Several attempts. Doesn't work,   
   try something else, till it worked...
