Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: os-prober
I have a multiboot system with Windows XP, Ubuntu 9.10 alpha, and
FreeBSD 7.2 installed. After Karmic Alpha-4 (upgrading with apt-get up
to the time of the bug report) installing with Grub 2 in the MBR, the
FreeBSD partition is not recognized.
Some system information:
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=9.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=karmic
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu karmic (development branch)"
Linux lightning 2.6.31-10-generic #34-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 16 00:23:19 UTC 2009
i686 GNU/Linux
model name : VIA Samuel 2
cpu MHz : 798.000
General disk layout:
/dev/sda1 - Windows XP
/dev/sda2 - Ubuntu /boot partition
/dev/sda3 - FreeBSD 'slice' containing all BSD partitions
/dev/sda4 - subdivided into remaining partitions for Ubuntu
Previously (with Ubuntu 9.04 and Grub 1) the booting worked well for all
3 OSes.
There is an old Windows 95 drive on /dev/sdb - the OS on that is
detected by os-prober. Currently, running os-prober gives me the
results:
r...@lightning:~# os-prober
/dev/sda1:Microsoft Windows XP Professional:Windows:chain
/dev/sdb1:Windows NT/2000/XP:Windows1:chain
r...@lightning:~#
On a similar system runing XP, Ubuntu 9.04, and FreeBSD, the (Grub 1)
menu.lst stanza for FreeBSD 7.1 is
# Choice 0: use 1st BSD subpartition in disk 1 partition 3
title FreeBSD 7.1
