I imagine I used whatever the defaults where when I installed 12.1 or whatever - before zypper dup'ing to 12.3 and then doing this parallel install. It was my expectation that another currently booting/active linux partition /dev/sda1 might have it's grub menu examined, and those items collated into the boot options (?) perhaps I have a mistaken expectation. I hope that something like that is done for windows partitions, I'm surprised it's not for an existing Linux one :-) [ I could swear that that used to work ]. -- 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.

I can't explain it -but the entry is now there, where it should be - and it was not before. I only see a grub2-branding package update in my zypper log though. so - please do mark fixed if that satisfies you =) -- 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.
