Which things? It is hard to guess what you expect here.
I thought that grub2 used something like os-prober to find all the available operating system images ...
it does but it is disabled by default in 13.1, you need to go into yast bootloader settings and enable it explicitly.
I've had that set all the way though this and it does not scan.
Even when the bootloader is mistakenly on the 'old' drive it does not scan for other OS on that drive.
I'm forced to conclude that this is not a 'dynamic' function, that it only does the scan at the time of the grub2/mbr installation and not at run-time.
No, it is not run-time, it is done every time grub2 configuration is re-created. But actually manually chainloading your old grub from grub2 is simple. Please run https://github.com/arvidjaar/bootinfoscript/raw/master/bootinfoscript and post results here. Also run os-prober (literal command) - does it print anything? After you run os-prober, take las half an hour of messages from /var/log/messages and post here as well. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
