Yast2 Log

I have updated to openSuSE 13.2 (x86_64) from openSuSE 13.1. After logging into KDE the first time I wanted to check the Bootmanager configuration. In Yast2 I clicked on the Bootmanager icon, it started and began to read in the configuration and then  crashed. Tried again, same problem.

I don't know if this is relevant: The system I am using has a bit of a weird configuration: It has a SSD installed as /dev/sda, and a normal HDD as /dev/sdb. Earlier on, the system just had the HDD, so the initial openSuSE installation (possibly 12.3) did install GRUB into the MBR of the HDD, now /dev/sdb. I the updated continuously to 13.2.

So now I have to select the HDD in the BIOS to get to GRUB2, then booting continues from the SSD (/dev/sda).

Attached the Yast2 log, a screenshot of the error message and the current "grub.cfg".

Just to get the HDD/SSD thing out of the way, I re-installed GRUB2 to the SSD's MBR (/dev/sda) and can now boot with having to select the HDD first in BIOS to get to the GRUB menu.
But that did not cure the problem, again Yast's Bootloader crashes when reading the configuration, complaining about a tmpfs. So the initial y2log and screenshot are still valid.

Thanks for report. It is handled in different bug.
