I dunno, hope this makes sense to someone :)
I'm investigating the issue, it's related to grep! not os-prober. grep's behavior in searching binary files is changed in Fedora 21. I'm trying to find out if it is a bug, or an intended change! Seems to be a bug. I've filled bug #1172804 against grep. Thanks Hedayat. Common Bugs proposed text: After installing Fedora along side Windows, the (GRUB) boot menu entry for Windows might be mislabeled with the wrong version of Windows. This is a cosmetic bug, the entry should still successfully boot Windows. A future update is anticipated that will fix the underlying cause, but following that update it will be necessary to manually run 'grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg' for the change to take effect. I haven't tried yet to boot Windows from the mis-labeled prompt. If it works you'll hear nothing from me. This is due to a bug in os-prober; it's making an unportable assumption about 'grep'. I have filed a bug report with a proposed (but untested) patch at: http://bugs.debian.org/772901 *** Bug 1176133 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** os-prober-1.65-2.fc21 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 21. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/os-prober-1.65-2.fc21 Package os-prober-1.65-2.fc21: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 21 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.
