Description of problem: uname -a Linux ecube.site 2.6.38.2-9.fc15.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Mar 30 16:55:57 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux The grub.cfg file generated by grub2-mkconfig only contains entries for the kernels in the local /boot directory. This makes it difficult to boot other OS's available in a multi-boot setup. Debian Squeeze and Ubuntu Maverick/Natty seem to find all the potential partitions that are bootable. Even SuSE using grub1 sets up chainload entries to start up grub2 on these partitions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Found in Fedora 14 and Fedora 15 beta How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run grub2-mkconfig >temp.cfg 2. grep menuentry temp.cfg Actual results: menuentry "GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.38.2-9.fc15.x86_64" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { menuentry "GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.38.2-9.fc15.x86_64 (recovery mode)" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { Expected results: For me, something more like: menuentry "GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.38.2-9.fc15.x86_64" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { menuentry "GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.38.2-9.fc15.x86_64 (recovery mode)" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" { menuentry "Windows Recovery Environment (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" --class windows --class os { menuentry "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda2)" --class windows --class os { menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (on /dev/sda3)" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (recovery mode) (on /dev/sda3)" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { menuentry "Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-28-generic (on /dev/sda5)" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { menuentry "Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-28-generic (recovery mode) (on /dev/sda5)" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { menuentry "Fedora release 15 (Lovelock) (on /dev/sdb1)" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { menuentry "openSUSE 11.4 (on /dev/sdb2)" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { menuentry "Failsafe -- openSUSE 11.4 (on /dev/sdb2)" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { Additional info:
