Correct *what*? I still do not understand what the problem is. Did you install booltoader onto the "wrong" drive?
That's how it looks The bootloader for the 13.1 is on the drive that has the 12.3 and I can't boot the 12.3.
You have to be very careful and look at all the yast screens to see what is going where.
Yes. The Yast/bootloader for 13.1 seems only able to 'do' a version for 13.1. Just to make it clear: both drives has the 'bootable' flag set on the partition with the 'boot file system. But whatever I do, and I've checked carefully, a) the new drive does not boot. The new drive has a 1G partition with /boot in it.
df -h /dev/sda1 Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 976M 51M 858M 6% /boot
That has the boot flag set. before install I set up the drive with knoppix/gparted I've tried setting the mbr on the drive, on /boot. Booting from that drive (BIOS F11/menu) give a blank screen. Grub2 does not come up. Yes there is grub2 and grub.cfg there.
