Here's what I copied from the terminal: wy...@ubuntubeta:~$ sudo os-prober [sudo] password for wyatt: /dev/sda1:Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5.4 (Tikanga):RedHat:linux /dev/sda11:Slackware Linux (Slackware 13.0.0.0.0):Slackware:linux /dev/sda12:Mandriva Linux 2010.0 (2010.0):MandrivaLinux:linux /dev/sda5:Debian GNU/Linux (5.0.3):Debian:linux /dev/sda6:Mandriva Linux 2009.1 (2009.1):MandrivaLinux1:linux /dev/sda7:openSUSE 11.1 (x86_64):SuSE:linux /dev/sda8:Ubuntu 9.04 (9.04):Ubuntu:linux /dev/sda9:PCLinuxOS:MandrivaLinux2:linux /dev/sdb3:openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 8 (x86_64):SuSE1:linux /dev/sdb5:Mandriva Linux 2009.0 (2009.0):MandrivaLinux3:linux /dev/sdb6:Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5.3 (Tikanga):RedHat1:linux /dev/sdb7:openSUSE 11.1 (x86_64):SuSE2:linux /dev/sdb8:Debian GNU/Linux (5.0):Debian1:linux /dev/sdb9:Mandriva Linux 2009.1 (2009.1):MandrivaLinux4:linux It misses Solaris in sda2 and fedora in sda10 but it does see Mandriva in sda6 and sda12. Oh! And it misses Ubuntu 9.10 beta in sdb2! How curious! I will restart and see if that helped. Or is there more I need to do? Is there a way to tell grub to create the entry for Solaris and fedora?
