Package: grub-pc Version: 1.96+20090725-1 Severity: normal I just installed os-prober manually (because of the mentioned problem, which caused missing entries for other operating systems) and ran update-grub2. On my system with GNOME running, this didn't cause windows with file explorers to pop up and umount of the other partitions went just fine. The probing went fine, see below.
So, if this is true for everyone, I'd suggest to move os-prober back to recommends. It's not nice to discover your other OS entries are gone after upgrading to grub2 (from legacy) without any warning or hint what to do about it, whatsoever. My 2 cents... -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/disk/by-uuid/58b8d45e-de5e-45a4-9550-f63db64595aa / ext3 rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/sdb6 /home ext3 rw,noatime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/sda (hd1) /dev/sdb *********************** END /boot/grub/device.map *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### set default=0 set timeout=5 set root=(hd1,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 58b8d45e-de5e-45a4-9550-f63db64595aa if loadfont /usr/share/grub/ascii.pf2 ; then set gfxmode=640x480 insmod gfxterm insmod vbe if terminal_output.gfxterm ; then true ; else # For backward compatibility with versions of terminal.mod that don't # understand terminal_output terminal gfxterm fi fi ### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### set root=(hd1,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 58b8d45e-de5e-45a4-9550-f63db64595aa insmod png if background_image /boot/grub/moreblue-orbit-grub.png ; then set color_normal=black/black set color_highlight=magenta/black else set menu_color_normal=cyan/blue set menu_color_highlight=white/blue fi ### END /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, Linux 2.6.30-1-686-bigmem" { set root=(hd1,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 58b8d45e-de5e-45a4-9550-f63db64595aa linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30-1-686-bigmem root=UUID=58b8d45e-de5e-45a4-9550-f63db64595aa ro quiet initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.30-1-686-bigmem } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, Linux 2.6.30-1-686-bigmem (recovery mode)" { set root=(hd1,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 58b8d45e-de5e-45a4-9550-f63db64595aa linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30-1-686-bigmem root=UUID=58b8d45e-de5e-45a4-9550-f63db64595aa ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.30-1-686-bigmem } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, Linux 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem" { set root=(hd1,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 58b8d45e-de5e-45a4-9550-f63db64595aa linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686-bigmem root=UUID=58b8d45e-de5e-45a4-9550-f63db64595aa ro quiet initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686-bigmem } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, Linux 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem (recovery mode)" { set root=(hd1,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 58b8d45e-de5e-45a4-9550-f63db64595aa linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686-bigmem root=UUID=58b8d45e-de5e-45a4-9550-f63db64595aa ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686-bigmem } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, Linux 2.6.26-1-686-bigmem" { set root=(hd1,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 58b8d45e-de5e-45a4-9550-f63db64595aa linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686-bigmem root=UUID=58b8d45e-de5e-45a4-9550-f63db64595aa ro quiet initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686-bigmem } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, Linux 2.6.26-1-686-bigmem (recovery mode)" { set root=(hd1,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 58b8d45e-de5e-45a4-9550-f63db64595aa linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686-bigmem root=UUID=58b8d45e-de5e-45a4-9550-f63db64595aa ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686-bigmem } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, Linux 2.6.25-2-686-bigmem" { set root=(hd1,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 58b8d45e-de5e-45a4-9550-f63db64595aa linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25-2-686-bigmem root=UUID=58b8d45e-de5e-45a4-9550-f63db64595aa ro quiet initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.25-2-686-bigmem } menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, Linux 2.6.25-2-686-bigmem (recovery mode)" { set root=(hd1,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 58b8d45e-de5e-45a4-9550-f63db64595aa linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25-2-686-bigmem root=UUID=58b8d45e-de5e-45a4-9550-f63db64595aa ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.25-2-686-bigmem } ### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### menuentry "Microsoft Windows XP Professional (on /dev/sda1)" { set root=(hd0,1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 8ad8a7f4d8a7dd27 drivemap -s (hd0) ${root} chainloader +1 } ### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### # This file is an example on how to add custom entries ### END /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### *********************** END /boot/grub/grub.cfg -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages grub-pc depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.27 Debian configuration management sy ii grub-common 1.96+20090725-1 GRand Unified Bootloader, version ii libc6 2.9-23 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii ucf 3.0018 Update Configuration File: preserv grub-pc recommends no packages.
