Not sure if this bug has expired. I am having the same problem.
I have ubuntu 9.10 with grub2 installed. I later installed fedora 12 on another
partition without boot loader (thus, no menu.lst to attach).
When I run update-grub from ubuntu, the created entry for fedora has no initrd,
as below:
I suspect the problem is in /usr/lib/linux-boot-
probes/mounted/90fallback
initrdname=$(echo $kernfile | sed
s/vmlinu[zx]/initrd\*/)
foundinitrd=0
for initrd in $(eval ls $initrdname 2/dev/null); do
Ok, I made it work by changing the line :
initrdname=$(echo $kernfile | sed s/vmlinu[zx]/initrd\*/)
to
initrdname=$(echo $kernfile | sed s/vmlinu[zx]/init\*/).img
With this change, the script is now looking for the file name
init*[kernel version].img, instead of initrd[kernel version].
The same issue happens to me with the detection of CentOS.
The grub.cfg reads:
menuentry CentOS release 5.3 (Final) (on /dev/sda6) {
insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,6)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 4870fcd7-5b5b-4276-97ee-a8134dd68e2a

I'm not sure if there's much we can do about the hda6 vs. sda6 thing -
this is entirely dependent on the exact configuration of kernel being
booted and it's entirely possible for it to switch back and forth even
within a single release of a single distribution at times. :-(
I'd like to fix the
Thanks for the feedback on the hda/sda item. Understandable.
And not a too big issue once you know how to fix it ;-)
Before Karmic I used to install CentOS with GRUB (1.5 IIRC) and use the
chainloader.
However ... since Karmic I have install the additional distributions that I
have (currently
This is more a bug in os-prober
/etc/grub.d/30_os-prober gets the initrd from it and then just put it in
grub.cfg
