Hello
I want change from grub to grub2 via yast. But grub2 does not identify windows xp on /dev/sda1 so there were no xp in the boot menü. When I change then from grub2 back to grub, grub identifies windows xp. What´s the problem with grub2?
Now I use the older grub again that I can boot windows XP.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start yast
2.Start bootloader-configuration
3.Change from grub to grub2
4.OK
5.Reboot
6.Bootmenü: Windows XP missing 
Actual Results:  
Grub2 were installed without error message but without windows XP.

Expected Results:  
It should identify all windows distributions

With the update "nfs-utils-1.2.7-2.14.1" my nfs-partition Windows-XP is registered in the boot-menü. Windows is booting.
