Bug#604155: Windows 7 not in grub menu
Subsequent to my last email, I think that the root filesystem was not
mounted properly due to an unrelated issue, rebooting fixed it, this is
the output from 30_os-prober:
# /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober
Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1
menuentry Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1) {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ntfs
set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set a23821f33821c6df
chainloader +1
}
and this is update-grub:
# update-grub
Generating grub.cfg ...
Found background image: moreblue-orbit-grub.png
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-amd64
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64
done
So os_prober can find Windows, but it isn't in the menu
This is what I see in /boot/grub/grub.cfg after update-grub:
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###

Bug#604155: Windows 7 not in grub menu
reassign 604155 grub-pc tags 604155 - moreinfo forcemerge 604155 568639 thanks Hello Daniel, Daniel Pocock wrote: So os_prober can find Windows, but it isn't in the menu Thanks for the follow-up. Since grub is apparently not able to generate the windows menu entry even after installation, I would say this is a bug in grub rather than in the installer. Hence, reassigning and merging with #568639 (winxp partition detected, but not added to grub.cfg).
