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.

# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing

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
