Bug#663540: finds MSDOS when there is none
Package: os-prober
Version: 1.49
os-prober finds some MSDOS partition on my laptop:
# os-prober
/dev/sda2:MS-DOS 5.x/6.x/Win3.1:MS-DOS:chain
# blkid | sort
/dev/sda1: UUID="063e2d53-7007-4112-822f-edcba00d2928" TYPE="ext4" LABEL="root"
/dev/sda2: LABEL="debian" UUID="af0b76b9-e91e-4bbd-a64c-b1a6199982bf" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sda3: LABEL="swap" UUID="55a05f9b-346d-46c8-87a6-b0b8b2f5ad37" TYPE="swap"
/dev/sda4: LABEL="export" UUID="e1f404ed-b77d-4c24-91d1-7ff69540fdfa" TYPE="ext4"
# parted /dev/sda u s p
Model: ATA ST9160823AS (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 312581808s
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 2048s 62492671s 62490624s primary ext4
2 62492672s 96047103s 33554432s primary ext4
3 96047104s 104435711s 8388608s primary linux-swap(v1)
4 104435712s 312581807s 208146096s primary ext4
This makes /dev/sda2 unbootable. At boot time grub2 gives me
error: invalid signature.
os-prober 1.42 from Stable doesn't show this problem:
# os-prober
/dev/sda2:Debian GNU/Linux (wheezy/sid):Debian:linux
