Bug#608025: [debian-installer] Windows 7 entry is not written to GRUB list

[Paul Bryan Roberts <pbronline-debian@yahoo.co.uk>]

Hi,

I have noted the same issue and workaround as Rafael but I am using 
Squeeze beta 2:

    Debian GNU/Linux squeeze-di-beta2 "Squeeze" - Official Beta i386
                      NETINST Binary-1 20101203-16:34

I have now tried again with:

    Debian GNU/Linux testing "Squeeze" - Official Snapshot i386 NETINST
                          Binary-1 20110101-09:10

as suggested by Miguel with the same unfortunate result.

I have this issue on a old machine with Windows 2000 and on not-as-old 
laptop with Windows XP Home.

After installation, the section that one expects 
/etc/grub.d/30_os-prober to have filled in is empty.
After running update-grub, the section appears to have been filled in 
correctly.

I don't have this problem on the only other machine I have that has a 
second OS installed.
However, in this last case, the second OS is an old Debian on a second 
hard disk.
The installation here used a USB installer in conjunction with the amd64 
net installer
and not a straight net install from CD.

Happy New Year,
   Paul Bryan
