Thanks Ken, that was remarkably easy. I was thinking that mkinitrd would need some fancy command-line options. It doesn't! I also commented out the /etc/fstab line for /boot as a separate partition. I also used "cp -rp" instead of mv.
cp instead of mv saved you. You're now booted and running off the old boot partition's menu, kernel and initrd from the currently unmounted old boot partition. Grub booting takes no account of fstab or /proc/mounts.
Tried and tested on 12.3 with reiserfs root, and ran Marcus' suggested "systemctl enable purge-kernel" line. I then ran zypper dup and rebooted. All is well with the force again.
Not as well as it may seem. Did the dup include a new kernel? If so, is it what you are now running?
Hi Felix, Yes, the dup included a new kernel, and it's now running, from 3.7.10-1.1-desktop to 3.7.10-1.4-desktop. The old 100-mb ext2 /boot is unmounted and quiescent. The new /boot on / is at 104-MB, which would have crashed if not on /.
