In this instance I'm very comfortable that RTFM is the appropriate response.
This is covered in the Release Notes:
<a href="https://wiki.openmandriva.org/en/3.0/Release_Notes">https://wiki.openmandriva.org/en/3.0/Release_Notes</a>
Try internet search using 'Linux /boot/efi'. Here's 2 links that should pick
up:
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFI_system_partition">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFI_system_partition</a>
<a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/EFI_System_Partition">https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/EFI_System_Partition</a>
<span class="quote">> If I follow the warning I have to stop installation. Then this is not a
> solution.</span >
It is and it's the only solution. You have to select the '/boot/efi/' partition
and it needs the flags 'esp' and 'boot'. Not optional on OpenMandriva .iso's
currently.
<span class="quote">> As said before it's not clear which partition is UEFI. And I have
> "openmandriva" and "openmanadriva" (see the "a" added)</span >
They're both on '/boot/efi' partition. All the entries 'efibootmgr' pulls up
are.
<span class="quote">> For a normal user or a beginner it's not so easy to locate UEFI and to set
> installation parameters.</span >
Disagree. People with no knowledge won't be installing their own operating
system in the first place. If one is installing one's own system a certain
amount of knowledge and/or willingness to RTFM is implied. When I started in
Linux with Fedora Core 3 I had to do a bit of reading first and more later.
<span class="quote">> I tried others distribution that don't need this skill and "locate
> automatically" UEFI. </span >
This is true and I wish OM had this feature but we don't. You could file a bug
report requesting this and under Importance select 'Trivial/Enhancement'.
Summation: Marking bug as RESOLVED/INVALID as this is clearly covered in
Release Notes.</pre>
