[Bug 923270] [NEW] os-prober does not recognize other os on different hd

[MagnusPI]

Public bug reported:

 /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober cannot detect the XP partition.

As the following info shows I have XP installed on sda while linux is on
sdb

 fdisk -l /dev/sda 
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *          63   134223074    67111506    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT


 fdisk -l /dev/sdb
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1              63    59579107    29789522+   7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sdb2        59580414   240121727    90270657    5  Extended
/dev/sdb5       103462191   240121727    68329768+  83  Linux
/dev/sdb6        59580416   101548031    20983808   83  Linux
/dev/sdb7       101550080   103458815      954368   82  Linux swap / Solaris

Partition table entries are not in disk order

The obvious workaround is to write an entry in  40_custom
