 Package: os-prober
 Severity: normal
 
 Hi, sometimes os-prober is unable to detect the exact version
 of windows loader is in use and mark the entry as vista (the fallback)
 this is due the fact grep is called without -a, so in os-probes/20microsof
 
 bootmgr detections should be done without grep -qas instead of grep -qs
 
 Sometimes it works because grep treats the file as ascii, sometimes not

Hi Gianluigi,

thanks for the report and the suggestion, I've just pushed that accordingly:
  https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/os-prober.git/commit/?id=15dec5c

There are two files dealing with Microsoft products:
  os-probes/mounted/x86/20microsoft
  os-probes/mounted/x86/efi/20microsoft

The former relies on grep for the Vista section (modified by the patch),
but not for the other ones. The latter does things differently.

So hopefully that should be all.

Mraw,
KiBi.
