   An update that has three recommended fixes can now be

Description:

   This update for grub2 provides the following fixes:

   - 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)
   - Fix a problem that was causing a Nvidia GPU in legacy I/O slot 2 to
     disappear during system startup. (bsc#1082914)
   - Search for specific config files for netboot. (bsc#1166409) This will
     implements a search for a specific configuration when the config file is
     on a remoteserver. It uses the following order: 1) DHCP client UUID
     option. 2) MAC address (in lower case hexadecimal with dash separators);
     3) IP (in upper case hexadecimal) or IPv6; 4) The original grub.cfg file.
