When I start a fresh image of Leap 16.0 or Tumbleweed, it takes quite some time before finally the grub screen arrives.
BTW. Pressing Return does nothing, so I have to wait till the 10 seconds, which take 1 minute, are counted down. What I see is that apparently a number of partitions are inspected without the code seeing a bootable piece of software. I see first scanning of a device 0:3 and 0:4 a message that no EFI image can be found. During this period a picture of U-boot is displayed in the right upper corner of the screen. I assume this is a piece of software from the DOS partition that is running. I have a old system, probably started with Leap 15.4 and finally upgraded to 15.6 that boots much faster. So I wonder if this piece of software should not be used in current Tumbleweed and Leap 16.0. My knowledge about what is loaded successively is nil, so I want to know what piece of software from this older system I could use to see if that gives a better experience when booting the newer systems. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf
