The stuff in darkred has been removed as part of the kernel update. This is normal. But (scroll down!), all the stuff in bright red has been deleted: all non-openSUSE kernel boot entries. This is not expected. Well, I was expecting that but I mean this is not desired. As “usual” chainloader entries remained untouched, as shown below:

I’ve been updated three systems now and it hit them all … I know it will hit the others too and it will keep me busy for a while.
I you’re dual or multi booting directly other Linux kernels from openSUSE Grub, always backup your /boot/grub/menu.lst before updating the kernel.
I found the cause … and half of the solution. /sbin/update-bootloader, which is called by /usr/lib/bootloader/bootloader_entry, any time you install/deinstall a kernel is the culprit. See a more detailled explanation in this post: updategrub for openSUSE Legacy Grub (not update-grub!)
