Here are photos of the resulting modification: Grub2-efi Main Menu on sdf: http://paste.opensuse.org/44903312 Grub2-efi Advanced Menu on sdf: http://paste.opensuse.org/130227 Grub2 Main Menu on sdb: http://paste.opensuse.org/28757796 Grub2 Advanced Menu on sdb: http://paste.opensuse.org/57515090 I will also attache the actual two new Grub.cfg files that have been created. As to the requests for the fix, 1) I see that in the Grub2 Main Menu for the secondary advanced menu, the drive partition is shown from which it came. 2) Next, on the Secondary Advanced Menu, I see kernel versions, which is all very good. In the actual Secondary Advanced Menu of Grub2-efi of sdf, I question the need to have the highest kernel version listed without and with its kernel version shown. I would simply leave out the listing with no kernel version shown. Grub2-efi on sdf is picking up kernel recovery entries from drive sdb I see and only one openSUSE kernel listing with no kernel version shown. In the actual Secondary Advanced Menu of Grub2, I also question the need to have the highest kernel version listed without and with its kernel version shown. I also see yet another entry that includes the bit type. I would simply leave out any listing with no kernel version shown. Grub2-efi on sdf is NOT picking up kernel recovery entries and shows two openSUSE kernel listing with no kernel version shown. As always, tell me if you need more information and thanks so much for your help and attention to this problem report.

As to the requests for the fix, 1) I see that in the Grub2 Main Menu for the secondary advanced menu, the drive partition is shown from which it came. 2) Next, on the Secondary Advanced Menu, I see kernel versions, which is all very good.

Good. So I consider this bug fixed and submit requests for Factory. grub2: SR#147483 os-prober: SR#147484

In the actual Secondary Advanced Menu of Grub2-efi of sdf, I question the need to have the highest kernel version listed without and with its kernel version shown. I would simply leave out the listing with no kernel version shown. Grub2-efi on sdf is picking up kernel recovery entries from drive sdb I see and only one openSUSE kernel listing with no kernel version shown.

In the actual Secondary Advanced Menu of Grub2, I also question the need to have the highest kernel version listed without and with its kernel version shown. I also see yet another entry that includes the bit type. I would simply leave out any listing with no kernel version shown. Grub2-efi on sdf is NOT picking up kernel recovery entries and shows two openSUSE kernel listing with no kernel version shown.

Well, that's how upstream version works. It is really enhancement request which probably should be discussed with upstream first. In any case it has to go into another bug or feature request. -- 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.

I don't have access to an openSUSE UEFI system

This is unrelated to UEFI

Is the issue discussed here related to os-prober or to Grub2-efi?

os-prober and grub2 (specifically, 30_os-prober script)

In other words: what do you need to change, the output of os-prober or the way this output is parsed by Grub2 os-prober script? or both?

First three changes in os-prober, forth in 30_os-prober script. There is no change in how it parses output, just change how it builds menu titles.

Andrej, did you make a new patch for os-prober I should be aware of?

Probably, yes :) -- 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.
