Package: grub-installer Severity: normal Tags: d-i I had the following partiton setup after an install: hda1 /boot hda2 / hda3 (old debian install, with hda1 as /boot) hda4 (old debian install, with hda1 as /boot) os-prober found hda3 and hda4 as linux systems, and so grub-installer told me those would be on the menu. So I was suprised when it did not add them there. Of course what happened is that when it was trying to add them to the menu, linux-boot-prober failed to mount their (already mounted, and taken over) /boot partitions. So it skipped them. It would be better if the linux-boot-prober step happened _before_ the user sees the list of available OSes. This might even simplify the code.. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.25 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US -- see shy jo
