I also use zypper rather than yast for software/kernel updates, but I fail to understand the need to "grub2-mkconfig" as zypper performs that task, iiuc???
Hi Patrick,
In my case, on this system (12.3), 'zypper update' installed the latest kernel but the boot menu didn't change. This is why I asked about grub2-mkconfig creating boot menu entries for each installed kernel. And this has me wondering if the recent migration of my regular operating systems to a single SSD is involved.

I have openSUSE 13.1 with latest STABLE kernel installed and by executing the command sudo /sbin/purge-kernels I don't obtain any older kernels removing. The return message of sudo /sbin/purge-kernels is: marco@linux-turion64:~> sudo /sbin/purge-kernels /sbin/purge-kernels: Running kernel 3.15.5-1.g01d2774-x86_64/default not installed. NOT removing any packages for flavor x86_64/default. /sbin/purge-kernels: Nothing to do. But if I issue uname -r I get: marco@linux-turion64:~> uname -r 3.15.5-1.g01d2774-default And if I check inside my /boot I have: marco@linux-turion64:~> ls -l /boot|grep vmlinuz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 11 lug 13.03 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-3.15.5-1.g01d2774-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5385312 3 lug 10.16 vmlinuz-3.15.3-1.g42bf625-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5385472 8 lug 06.43 vmlinuz-3.15.4-1.g2b59ae6-default -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5385760 11 lug 06.51 vmlinuz-3.15.5-1.g01d2774-default This is my current configuration in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf, may be I have to remove the first "latest" statement in order to have just one running + latest-1 installed on my system: ## Comma separated list of kernel packages to keep installed in parallel, if the ## above multiversion variable is set.
