Package: os-prober Version: 1.49 Downstream Bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=775614 The os-prober didn't work on efi firmware that each operation system loader is in the efi system partition rather than the boot sector. It remains using the legacy approach somehow and one of the consequence is that grub2 uses wrong stanza when trying to bootstrappe windows under UEFI. It uses chainloader +1 A correct one should be something like this chainloader (${root})/efi/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi Besides, I'd like chainloader be used as a generic way for any other distributions in UEFI mode. Compared to probing bootloader's config to know how to load kernel and initrd, the chainloader logic under the UEFI mode would much simplify and more reliable IMHO. At least for me that foregin OS config's change is independent and not influence it's booting .. The could make grub2 work in UEFI mode more like other utilites like rEFIt or rEFInd .. I know the testing version is a little stale, so please feel free to close if the support has been done or working in progress. :) Thanks, Michael
