Bug#544381: grub-pc: The os_prober does not include all the systems and entries are also not complete.

[Sridhar M.A.]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta1-1
Severity: normal

The configuration of grub-pc calls os_prober is supposed to include other OS's on the machine. 
In my case, I have the following systems installed :
  
	Debian
	Xubuntu
	Mandriva
	Geexbox

Of these, entries in /boot/grub/grub.cfg for debian and xubuntu are correct. For Mandriva, 
the initrd entry is not included which makes the system non-bootable. Entries for geexbox 
are not there at all!
