Package: os-prober Version: 1.42 Severity: normal Tags: d-i
When I installed Debian 6.0.1 squeeze, the Ubuntu partition was found and put into grub menu. Later I installed some packages from "testing" and after that the Ubuntu partition was not found when the kernel upgraded. I can still manually put the Ubuntu into the grub.cfg file to start it menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.38-8-generic' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { recordfail set gfxpayload=$linux_gfx_mode insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(/dev/sda,msdos3)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 2eb8cda6-366c-4ef7-b7da-8ff292ca7e61 linux /vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=UUID=18c56003-c1d4-4fa1-8753-a20bf3034b7e ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 initrd /initrd.img-2.6.38-8-generic } however, os-prober still does not see Ubuntu, but it does see Windoze: $ sudo os-prober [sudo] password for pauljohn: /dev/sda1:Microsoft Windows XP Professional:Windows:chain My Ubuntu is installed with a boot partition /dev/sda3 and the main root is /dev/sda7.
