openSuSE 12.1 and GRUB2

English Install/Boot/Login

Hi.
I’ve recently installed openSuse 12.1 i386 on my laptop.I installed grub2 during setup,but I don’t know how I can use it as my default boot loader.
In addition,there is an option in current bootloader menu,which its title is GNU GRUB2.Whenever I choose this option,it goes to grub command line.I want to know more about it.

Thank you

I don’t know how to use it either.
I personally would bother, because anything that’s not part of the default system is notoriously difficult to implement.
Do you have any specific reason for wanting this?

Interestingly I have several distros across 2 hard drives including OpenSuse 11.4 on different partitions to Suse 12.1

The line in grub2 for me says

GNU Grub2 OpenSuse 11.4

When I choose that entry it chainloads OpenSuse 11.4 which then boots grub legacy.

Grub2 has failed to pickup all my distributions (as it did with Ubuntu.) This is not a fault with
Suse but with Grub 2. I am looking into the problem at the moment

Osprober is installed?

I’ve just started a new thread

Grub 2 Configuration - Suse 12.1

I can not find any package relating to osprober. I think osprober is a grub2 script (I’ve seen it under ubuntu somewhere.)
