** Description changed: Binary package hint: os-prober SUN disk label requires a partition (usually /dev/XdY3) to be a "whole_disk" This partition encompass the entire disk including all partitions. In some cases it is possible to mount it but it is wrong and bad to do it. When testing os-prober in feisty this bug did not show up because of a different Solaris installation I had on the test box, but recently i was able to find it. The end result is that os-prober does mount the whole_disk and finds "another" OS installer. The right thing to do is to filter out partitions with sysfs attr whole_disk. - oldpartition layoyt> os-prober + oldpartition layoyt> os-prober /dev/sda1:Solaris/SPARC:Solaris:chain /dev/sdb2:Ubuntu gutsy (development branch) (7.10):Ubuntu:linux newpartition layout> os-prober /dev/sda1:Solaris/SPARC:Solaris:chain /dev/sda3:Solaris/SPARC:Solaris1:chain /dev/sdb2:Ubuntu gutsy (development branch) (7.10):Ubuntu:linux The result is an extra entry in silo.conf that is not correct.
