You're right, either things have changed since the days I used GRUB extensively or I am losing it. No, that's not a multiple choice question! Have you tried running the script with "sh -x" to see just what it is doing? I wonder if it could be this part if ! command -v os-prober > /dev/null || ! command -v linux-boot-prober >/dev/null ; then # missing os-prober and/or linux-boot-prober exit 0 fi If the os-prober command is missing the script will fail successfully, as you experience. Is sys-boot/os-prober installed? -- Neil Bothwick A consultant is a person who borrows your watch, tells you what time it is, pockets the watch, and sends you a bill for it.
