I already reported some serious bug about perlbootloader module and also with this grubdev2unixdev stuff some weeks back, but not much has happened, that bug hosed my whole system right from the start when i actually made the switch to opensuse 12.1 in the first place..... sigh :(((( what now? what on earth is wrong here.
