Description of problem: Other Linux distributions are seen in Anaconda's partitionning screen but when you reboot the only entries prent in Grub's menu are the Fedora 20 ones. If then, ie aftyer rebooting on Fedora 20, you run grub2-mkconfig by hand then you get a correct, ie with entries for other distribution, menu. This a _big_ public relaations problem: users willing to try fedora and unaware of Grub2's intrincacies will become angry, will find themselves unable to boot their other distro, will possibly reinstall it and will badmouth Fedora to anyone listening. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 20 (or Fedora 19) 2. Reboot. 3. Actual results: Your other Linux installations don't show up in Grub menus. Expected results: To be able to boot my previous Linux installations right out of the box. Additional info: Could be that anaconda fails to run grub2-osprove or it could be that grub2-osprobe fails to mount other partitions when grub2-mkconfig is run by anaconda (SELinux problem?).
Please provide the /var/log/anaconda/program.log so that we can check it for potential errors when running grub2-mkconfig.

Reassigning to grub. If anaconda does something wrong, please provide additional information and reassing the bug back to anaconda.
Which other linux distros do not show up? Which filesystem stacks to they use? It is probably the old issue where anaconda doesn't initialize raids and lvs it doesn't use and where os-prober thus can't see the disks. (The boot entries it created would however probably not be very useful. It would try to create clever entries instead of using chainloading or configfile.)
It is a Centos 6.x. Root filesystem is on a Logical Volume. Boot filesytem is, of course, on a normal partition (from memory RHEL/Centos 6 ship with Grub 1)
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
