Hi,
This report may be more appropriate for grub, but I'm not sure.
When configuring dual boot with Fedora Core 3, the Sarge Debian install adds
the lines
****************************************************************************
[...]
### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
# This is a divider, added to separate the menu items below from the Debian
# ones.
title Other operating systems:

# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing
# linux installation on /dev/hda2.

*****************************************************************************
to /boot/grub/menu.lst.
However, this kernel is an initrd image, so that does not work. The
following works (but may be sub-optimal).

I'm fairly certain this is fixed in current versions of the installer as
the same issue was reported in #399882, but in that report it was also
confirmed to be fixed with an Etch image.
Closing against current version of os-prober, though it was probably
resolved some time back.
Cheers,
FJP
