This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

I believe grubby 8.4 ought to fix this, when it lands in Rawhide, thanks to these two patches from Lucas Rodrigues:

http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=grubby.git;a=commit;h=f1e780b61fdf922b4d73b671c4c355650ee6e9fa
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=grubby.git;a=commit;h=2a48c733b03870b5550b82beefe1062eee39e28e

but we'll need to test it to make sure.

actually...probably not, since we use os-prober via grub2-mkconfig in anaconda, not grubby. doh.
Comment 4 Mikhail 2012-02-06 08:20:32 UTC 
If I install after Fedora Debian, 'yum update' couldn't able update list of kernels in the boot menu.

Ups... please delete my above attachment.
Comment 7 Peter Jones 2012-08-08 17:24:23 UTC 
If you assign mountpoints to the other OSes in the partitioning UI, and select that they not be formatted, os-prober should pick these up.
Comment 8 Adam Williamson 2012-08-08 23:30:59 UTC 
I don't think assigning mount points to other OSes in the installer is something people are going to instinctively do. I know I wouldn't, necessarily. If we felt it sufficiently important, I'm sure we could make other OS detection work even without the user creating a mount point for the other OS's partitions, though that may make this more of an RFE than a bug? (also, how does newUI affect this?)
