Hi,

When invoking 'update-grub' an installation of Devuan on another partition
is identified by os-prober as 'unknown Linux distribution'. It does have an
/etc/devuan_version file. By contrast, os-prober supports detection of other
OS's (including some Debian derivatives).
Please resolve this for future versions. A simple 3-line patch to
/usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/90linux-distro (enclosed) has been observed to
work (by myself only so far).

Thanks, but please use diff -u or git format-patch. Having the context
around is always a good idea; having a patch ready to apply even more so.
Mraw,
KiBi.
My apologies for not using diff -u .. updated patch enclosed, hope that
helps better. Thanks for taking note of this issue.
