I performed a new installation of OSS 13.2 on a laptop. As per default, it uses grub2. When the machine boots, I see a menu with options "Opensuse", and "Advanced". If I choose (or let the system choose by default) OpenSuse, then the machine proceeds to boot, comes to the GUI login screen, and at that point my keyboard and mouse do not work at all. If I choose "Advanced" from the grub menu, and then choose the latest kernel that is displayed, everything works fine.
My question is whether there is away to see what options are being used by the various grub menu entries once the machine is up and running (as it is now and I'd rather not reboot it if I do not have to)? The old GRUB used a text based configuration file, which was fine but limited. The new one is much more dynamic in that most of the configuration is done via scripts, but it would be nice if it writes the "final results" and menu options etc somewhere for debugging purposes. If not, then is my only option to trace through the code of all the scripts to see what those options are presenting or reboot the machine and then examine the menu options?

Press 'e' on the line in the grub2 menu when you have highlighted which "version" you want to boot into- Opensuse or Advanced. Hit "F10" to boot.
