As you see the newer is 12.1, but still it's 11.4 that shows at boot time. I tryed several setup in yast with no result Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: boot always show the 11.4 menu (and then the 12.1, so boot is ok) Expected Results: 12.1 boot menu should show (11.4 is to be progressively abandonned) look like only at install time the boot system can be installed?? -- 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.
