[opensuse-factory] /boot/grub/menu.lst is not used

M2 installed on this past Sunday to /dev/md3 (sda10/sdb10) RAID1 . Nothing
updated since. Controlling boot loader is Grub from oS 10.2 installed to
/dev/sda1, which is never mounted to /boot no matter which oS (11.0, 11.1 &
M2 are installed) is booted.

When I boot M2 after modifying /boot/grub/menu.lst on M2's md3, the gfxmenu I
get is the original
<http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/SUSE/menu.lst.01-big31-md3-os113>, not the current
<http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/SUSE/menu.lst.04-big31-md3-os113>. Even when I
delete menu.* from md3's /boot/grub, and rename /boot/message, the original
menu and /boot/message still get used, and its use is from configfile on
another partition anyway. This does not happen with the 11.0 & 11.1 installs
on the same system from the same Grub doing configfile the same way for all
<http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/SUSE/menu.lst.0e-big31-sda1>. What's going on here?
Did the installer put menu.lst and message someplace other than /boot/grub on
the installation target? How could the old 10.2 Grub be finding files I
deleted? I tried booting Knoppix, mounting the individual md3 component
partitions separately to compare (successfully) for identical content. This
all makes no sense. :-(
