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. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
actually...probably not, since we use os-prober via grub2-mkconfig in anaconda, not grubby. doh.
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.
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.
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?)
