First error

Hi
Installing yast2-bootloader to modify grub results in errors due to
Boot Code Options 'Secure Boot Suppot' and 'Update NVRAM Entry' checked
by default, both need to be unchecked to be successful in modifying Kernel Parameters or Bootloader Options.

See attached images.

As a sidenote, when modifying entries kexec-tools is also needed and not installed by default with yast2-bootloader, should this not be added to the packages requires?

Hi Josef,

Would you please have a look, it appears to me that it has something to do with the readonly efivarfs on the RPI ?

Thanks in advanced.

It is possible, but sadly fix gets in SP3 after release of public beta. https://github.com/yast/yast-bootloader/pull/635

Malcolm - Please retest it with next release, thanks.
