but grub2 *only* offers 3.6.rc7 (and safe/recover, two options).

Why isn't the newer kernels offered and how to correct, yast2 bootloader does not provide access to them. ???

Please show full grub.cfg.

Not sure that I understand it (from pure language side) but if "w/submenu" means "without submenu" you could simply edit /etc/grub.d/10_linux and remove couple of lines. Something like

sorry for not being more clear. "w/submenu" indicates *with* submenu. I do not understand what it is that I need to edit or where to put the entries you have provided. I do understand about the recovery entries, if I could understand the other. The present menutree has: menuentry .... submenu.... with all three kernels and recovery... where is it that I should put the lines you indicate? do I need to recreate/copy the entire tree for each entry or ...? entertain me, I am aged and very stupid about grub2 and not a lot better with grub. tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I do not understand what it is that I need to edit or where to put the entries you have provided.

In GRUB2 by default grub.cfg is generated by scripts in /etc/grub.d; these scripts are invoked by grub2-mkconfig. Linux menu entries are generated by /etc/grub.d/10_linux. So you need to change this file and re-run "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg" (or perl-bootloader --refresh). This is just a normal shell script. My example simply skips over submenu generation.

ok, I added three lines, menuentry ...., as presented above to /etc/grub.d/10_linux file immediately after two "export TEXT..." lines just below the beginning of the file. There is no information within the file that I see that explains where to put "new entries" and running "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg" created /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.new which contains: 09:20 oSFact: ~ # grep menuentry /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.new if [ x"${feature_menuentry_id}" = xy ]; then menuentry_id_option="--id" menuentry_id_option="" export menuentry_id_option This doesn't appear to me to be correct so I have no attempted to boot with this config. Please explain what I need to do as I do not know.

I have also patch that adds configuration variable to /etc/default/grub and makes submenu generation conditional on it. Open bug report or feature request, so maintainer can decide whether to include this patch or not. For myself I do not care so do not feel like submitting it myself :)

The adequacy with which I have addressed this issue surely precludes me making any request or bug report that would benefit *anyone* or result in any solution. tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
