in opensuse 12.2 the default bootloader probably changed for everybody to grub2 (version 2), and that makes it necessary to go into the editor like interface of grub2 during pre-boot time and add your commandline kernel switch parameters there, which can also be added temporarily for just the following boot attempt if I am not mistaken. ctrl+x or F10 or whatever the help text says in there inside grub2 boots your added changed parameters then.
it seems a bit more complex or complicated in comparison to grub1 times. consult the manpages or websites. good luck.
grub1 also made you go into edit mode by default. I'm not sure whether it's an opensuse-specific patch or a config thing, but opensuse is the only grub-based distro I know that lets you change the kernel command line so easily. I liked it in fact, it makes phone troubleshooting with inexperienced users a lot easier (they don't have to press their way through unwieldly menus). Anyway, if it's an opensuse patch, I'd bet they didn't have time to port it to grub2 yet. If it isn't... I'd suggest they do :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
