Package: os-prober Version: 1.38 Seems that os-prober fails to recognize bootable DOS partitions. Sample session:
# os-prober No volume groups found /dev/sda2:openSUSE 11.0 (i586):SuSE:linux /dev/sdb3:Debian GNU/Linux (squeeze/sid):Debian:linux /dev/sdc2:Debian GNU/Linux (squeeze/sid):Debian1:linux # blkid -c /dev/null | sort /dev/sda1: TYPE="swap" /dev/sda2: UUID="4bb5089b-8673-40b4-bbe2-78a5a867da7a" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sda3: UUID="0857d6bb-9cb3-412e-a325-02fbd480399e" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sdb1: LABEL="root" UUID="084ce514-69d8-467c-9864-0f86b5dbef3a" TYPE="reiserfs" /dev/sdb2: TYPE="swap" /dev/sdb3: LABEL="sid" UUID="850218ef-a38f-44a1-8988-8c012efee23d" TYPE="reiserfs" /dev/sdb4: LABEL="tomcat" UUID="d3965cdd-4847-4855-8bbb-7f611b568488" TYPE="reiserfs" /dev/sdc1: SEC_TYPE="msdos" LABEL="usbdos" UUID="8518-0F77" TYPE="vfat" /dev/sdc2: LABEL="usbroot" UUID="feb06aa6-7adf-422d-918d-797b367d11f5" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" sdc is a bootable memory stick with FreeDOS on sdc1 and Squeeze on sdc2. The DOS partition boots fine using Grub chainloader, of course, except that I have to create the appropriate grub config entry manually. It would be nice if this problem could be fixed. Please mail.
