When I look at "grub.cfg", it contains only lines to boot RC1 and to boot Windows Vista. There is no entry to boot 13.1Beta1, which is installed on a different partition. If I run "os-prober", that only mentions vista. The root partition for 13.1Beta1 is using "btrfs". I'm not sure if that is relevant.

Unfortunately btrfs support in os-prober is deeply tied to existence of explicit subvolume to mount. Actually this is what is recommended by btrfs wiki as well.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=845589 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=845589#c12 --- Comment #12 from Neil Rickert 2013-10-13 14:02:53 UTC --- Yes, I just took the defaults. I'm new to "btrfs", and not yet sure what to make of subvolumes. I don't think there was an option to configure subvolumes. I will eventually revert to "ext4" on "/dev/sda9", as my experience shows that the partition needs to be larger for "btrfs". I don't think this problem requires urgent solution. It should be sufficient to document it in release-notes, with advice to use 40_custom as a work-around. Maybe you will need to provide feedback to the "btrfs" folk on recommended defaults when setting up that file system. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
