Bug#1013203: os-prober: Dual boot Windows 10 grub-probe error unknown filesystem
Package: os-prober
Version: 1.79
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: zalek.steven@gmail.com
Dear Maintainer, Mr. Zalek,
I would report the same issue on my laptop
Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
model: Inspiron 14 5410 2-in-1
BIOS vers.: 2.9.0
Linux nomehost 5.10.0-20-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.158-2 (2022-12-13) x86_64 GNU/Linux
/etc/debian_version 11.6
The issue happened after an update to latest Debian release.
the dual boot is with Windows 11
here the output of the comand update-grub
utente@PCxxxx:~$ sudo update-grub
[sudo] password di utente:

done
I solved the problem in the same way as Mr. Zalek modifying manually the file /boot/grub/grub.cfg
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
menuentry 'Windows Boot Manager (on /dev/nvme0n1p1)' --class windows --class os $menuentry_id_option 'osprober-efi-/dev/nvme0n1p1' {
insmod part_gpt
insmod fat
set root='hd0,gpt1'
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,gpt1 --hint-efi=nvme0n1,gpt1 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,gpt1 C4E0-C8D8
else
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root C4E0-C8D8
fi
chainloader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
}
### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
here the outpu of the comand os-prober
xxxx@xxx:~$ sudo os-prober

Since the output of os-prober and the messages log I suggest to extend the bug to the package grub-common because os-prober seems working well but update-grub doesn't
update the configuration file grub.cfg rightly
I'm at your disposal for any fhurther information was needed
kind Regards
Walter Medda
