As long as I remember, this is a very common situation I could solve with "updategrub" from please-try-again (for example http://forums.opensuse.org/forums/english/other-forums/development/programming-scripting/447138-looking-grub-windows-bootloader-all-partitions.html) but is there a standard way to do it? thanks jdd What's in /etc/grub.conf (both)? already copied in the original report (comment 0) *** /etc/grub.conf *** ok, sorry. By the way, I don't have this computer at hand right now (and not for a week), and on the one I have (and used to have the same problem), asking for a new config in yast/grub did the job (setting the 12.1 grub as boot). So I close this bug as invalid and I will reopen in if ever the solution don't work on the initial computer. Thanks quoting this grub.conf I never noticed jdd closed until new infos if ever necessary will be reopenned |

As you see the newer is 12.1, but still it's 11.4 that shows at boot time. I tryed several setup in yast with no result Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: boot always show the 11.4 menu (and then the 12.1, so boot is ok) Expected Results: 12.1 boot menu should show (11.4 is to be progressively abandonned) look like only at install time the boot system can be installed??
