This is most likely a grub issue - the defaults have changed to *not* run os-prober by default. If so, edit /etc/default/grub and set GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false then run update-grub this will fix your problem. Or run dpkg-reconfigure on your grub package (either grub-pc or grub-efi-amd64) and the latest grub packages will ask you about os-prober. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
