I'm not sure what the algorithm by which grub-install determines which kernel is the one at the first selection and not in the 'Advanced options'.
I don't know about the algorithm either, but I have to think the root cause of any menu.cfg that doesn't show the latest installed kernel as the default kernel is the same as with Grub Legacy. Unless I miss my guess, it's perl-Bootloader that makes the determination, one in which I think a kernel installed from an optional repo for a release version of openSUSE might never be considered top priority/first choice. The other possibility is it's not about the repo version, but about the new kernel being a different flavor than that originally (or possibly last) installed (e.g. kernel-desktop originally, kernel-default most recent). If so, or if I'm close to right that either is the way it is, it's IMO a good reason for not having Grub2's initial screen offer only a choice between the default kernel and opening a submenu. I very much prefer a boot menu that may offer a need to scroll over one containing any submenu. If Grub2 offers a configuration option to not have any submenu, and if I was actually using Grub2, I'd be using that option. ;-) -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
