Description Peter Backes 2012-05-30 22:18:07 UTC 
Description of problem:
in /usr/libexec/os-probes/mounted/90linux-distro, os-prober checks if  /lib*/ld*.so* exists. If it does, it assumes the partition contains a Linux distribution. However, after usrmove, ld.so now resides in /usr/lib, thus from the point of view of the /usr partition, it's in /lib. Hence, os-prober will incorrectly report that an unknown Linux distribution has been found on the /usr partition.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
os-prober-1.53-1.fc17.i686

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. grub2-mkconfig
  
Actual results:
"Found unknown Linux distribution on /dev/sda5"

Expected results:
/etc/grub.d/30_os-prober detects no unknown distros if there aren't any

Additional info:
How about the converse: Since ld.so is now in /usr/lib, not /lib, can osprober still detect usrmove linux distributions if installed with split-off /usr?
