edit grub entries after update

Hello,

done and the upgrade to 13.1, there is a detail in the grub and put entries in the previous version 12.3 instead of the new.

He was thinking hand-edit the grub.cfg and change to the new version but I worry about breaking the boot. How I can edit?

Thank you.

Attached is a picture of yast grub configuration, if it would not here to change the version number to update the entries.

grub

Just change the “Distributor” string (the very first one) there in that YaST window to “openSUSE 13.1” (or whatever you want actually).

The menu will then be automatically recreated with the changed string.

And no, you should not edit grub.cfg by hand. Your changes will be lost if an update rewrites the boot loader.

I have the same problem, but the problem is not only the label, is that the system is booting with the old 3.7 kernel instead of the new 3.11.
The Default boot section continues being Advanced options for openSUSE 12.3>openSUSE 12.3, with Linux 3.7.10-1.16-default

Next time, please use susepaste.org. The site you used is very intrusive
with their commercial popups.

Look into /var/log/zypp/history - I found an error had occurred during the kernel installation (out of space in / during mkinitrd) which bypassed the grub update. Fixing that and reinstalling the 13.1 kernel made it all better.

Run YaST->System->Boot Loader->Boot Loader Options and change the default.

If that doesn’t help, try to delete the file /boot/grub2/grubenv.

It was a similar problem

Then I reinstalled all about plymouth, then I reinstalled kernel (both desktop and default) and kernel source just in case and…

All fine. Just one more thing. I had to reinstall nvidia drivers because X wasn’t using all my screen
