After update Grub was not updated to use 12.1 as default system, as the result I ended up watching for a long time boot screen, then I switched to text mode and saw a lot of error while starting system.

Was the entire OS at 11.4 level or just the kernel? How did you perform the update? What errors were you seeing? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If for some reason, removing X (previous version) is not possible, then at least make Y (current version) default if X was default. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
