Hi Steve, great work indeed, because I can confirm that everything works fine with new version on my machine (ASUS X201E notetbook) !
Here is a testing procedure : drasko@Mali:~/grub-test$ wget http://www.einval.com/debian/efi/os-prober_1.58_amd64.deb root@Mali:/home/drasko/grub-test# apt-get remove os-prober root@Mali:/home/drasko/grub-test# dpkg -i os-prober_1.58_amd64.deb root@Mali:/home/drasko/grub-test# wget http://www.einval.com/debian/efi/grub-common_1.99-27.1_amd64.deb root@Mali:/home/drasko/grub-test# dpkg -i grub-common_1.99-27.1_amd64.deb (Reading database ... 132913 files and directories currently installed.)

I could boot into the Windows 8 without any problems. Then I booted back into Debian to write you this message ;). BTW, I tried also combination of new os-prober and old grub, and during grub-update a message is produced : ... Found Windows Boot Manager on /dev/sda1@/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi Windows Boot Manager is not yet supported by grub-mkconfig. and no Windows menuentries are produced in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, as expected. So, this version matching detection and warning also works correctly.

For me this is very good indicator that this solutions works, and that you will have less headache after the release ;). Thank you for your effort in making Debian machinery run smoothly. I'm glad if I could help a bit. Kind regards, Drasko -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
