The output is:

Prior to installing Leap 42, the master boot loader was grub2 from the 13.1 install. After Leap messed up the boot loader one of the steps I tried was to install grub legacy from the 13.1 install. Is there a way to "recover" the boot sections? From either the 13.1 installation or from the Leap 42? I guess you need to decide which OS and which bootloader you want to use. I honestly have no idea how "Detect Foreign OS" worked with grub-legacy. You can simply change grub to grub2 in yast-bootloader on 13.1 and it should give you back grub2 menu.
Thanks for your continued input. I think using grub2 via the 13.1 system makes the most sense. I initially installed grub2 from Leap 42. When that did not work, I re-installed the boot loader (via yast) from the Leap system (changing the location of the boot loader from the extended partition to the mbr). When that did not succeed I went into the 13.1 system and installed grub2 to the extended partition and that failed. I then changed to grub-legacy. In the end I had I installed the boot loader about 5-6 times before posting. My preference would be to fix the boot process in a way that will not introduce further errors. I have not yet come to understand grub2 well, but I prefer to go that route. The Leap installation will eventually be replaced since it is only a Beta so I will not put much effort into it. Gustav. p.s. I think you are replying directly to me, instead of the list. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
