Please edit /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib to insert a line containing
just 'set -x' near the top, and then run update-grub again and send us
the output. (You should revert the change to

Here it is - I also did an install on another box with Windows 7 already
on the disk, didn't encounter the same problem, in each case I have been
using the HTTP mirror to get the latest available squeeze packages and
not just those in the beta DVD image.

Thanks for this feedback - but I never remember disabling that. It is a
fresh install to a clean HDD from the beta1 CD.
Looking at the comments in the file, I think that one of the Xen
packages may have done something to it (see below). I installed Xen so
that I could run Win7 in a VM.
I think I understand the reason why Xen packages may be doing this -
I've had incidents on other boxes where update-grub has found VM boot
partitions that should not be used in dom0.

Bug#604155: Windows 7 not in grub menu
Subsequent to my last email, I think that the root filesystem was not
mounted properly due to an unrelated issue, rebooting fixed it, this is
the output from 30_os-prober:

So os_prober can find Windows, but it isn't in the menu
This is what I see in /boot/grub/grub.cfg after update-grub:
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###

Since grub is apparently not able to generate the windows menu entry even after installation, I would say this is a bug in grub rather than in the installer. Hence, reassigning and merging with #568639 (winxp partition detected, but not added to grub.cfg).
