Will it boot if you try to load the new kernel and initrd directly from 13.1's Grub instead of chainloading? title openSUSE TW default kernel on sda9 root (hd0,8) kernel /boot/vmlinuz showopts root=/dev/sda9 splash=0 initrd /boot/initrd TW still provides Grub Legacy. All my TW installations have Grub2 tabooed and boot either from chainloading TW's Grub Legacy, or directly from Grub Legacy on a primary that I maintain and never mount as /boot. One other possibility, without trying to digest your attachment, is that EXT4 recently acquired a new filesystem option that (AFAIK, but maybe only applicable to Debian?) Grub Legacy does not support. Maybe your new XFS has done similarly? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
