Bug#615088: grub-common: os-prober should use drivemap for windows 6.0+, too (windows hibernation related)

[Thorsten Sperber]

Package: grub-common
Version: 1.98+20100804-14
Severity: normal


If windows isn't booted on the same drive as installed, hibernation may fail (windows flickers for a moment, no shutdown initiated). After putting drivemap -s (hd0) (hd1) manually into grub.cfg, everything works as opposed to.

It has no influence on the boot process, only hibernation. As it doesn't have negative influences, I would recommend to enable it even in case of windows 6.0+ detection.
