opensuse 13.1
The original installation (something like v9.x) created a separate /boot partition. It was sized too small and updated kernel installations would fail for lack of space. I created a /boot directory in the root partition (/), copied the boot files there, updated Yast::System::Boot Loader to boot from the "root partition." It shows all of the recent kernel updates. (Why all of them since 3.11.6? Why not only the last 3?)
I renamed the original boot partition to "/boot-old."
All seemed okay at the time. Not so.
Despite how Yast::System::Boot Loader is configured, the system still boots from the files in /boot-old. I am reluctant to remove /boot-old from /etc/fstab as that may render the system unbootable.
How do I convince the system to boot from /boot, not /boot-old?
