Description:

This update for grub2 provides the following fixes:

  • Filter out autofs and securityfs from /proc/self/mountinfo to speed up nfsroot test in large number of autofs mounts (bsc#1069094)
  • Fix reboot in UEFI environments (bsc#1047331)
  • Use /boot/<arch>/loader/linux instead of /contents file to determine if the installation media is a SUSE distribution. (bsc#1054453)
  • Use the pvops-enabled default kernel if the traditional xen pv kernel and initrd are not found. (bsc#1054453)
  • Build diskboot_tpm.img as separate image to diskboot.img to prevent failure in booting on some bogus firmware. To use the TPM image you have to use suse-enable-tpm option of grub2-install (bsc#1052401)
