Will it boot if you try to load the new kernel and initrd directly from 13.1's Grub instead of chainloading?

Good idea. So I added the entry and rebooted. Fails: Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition 17 : Cannot mount selected partition This error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem type cannot be recognized by GRUB. Maybe XFS is not supported? I thought it was.
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.
It is not TW, but Leap. True, the old entry in menu.lst says "Factory" because sda9 is the partition where I tried factory when it was called that way, years ago. I installed Leap 42.2 RC2 there to try it, in the same partition: thus no changes needed to grub1, I thought.
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?
Dunno, maybe I should install to ext4 as always. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
