[Bug 963471] Re: Not all OS shown in grub-install screen at end of installation

[Colin Watson]

Thanks.  The proximate cause of this is that /dev/sdb5 requires
recovery, which means that it can't be mounted normally.  Now, I thought
that we'd fixed that class of problem using grub-mount.  However, grub-
mount appears not to be working properly in the installer environment,
which causes these symptoms.

  Not all OS shown in grub-install screen at end of installation

Bug description:
  Testing Precise beta2 alternate install. I have two internal SATA
  drives. My working OS are all on /dev/sdb and I'm installing to
  /dev/sda

  At the screen where the user is asked where to install Grub, not all
  the OS on my machine are being listed. It mentions two of them - Vista
  and Lucid - but doesn't refer to the existing Precise install on the
  same drive.

  This wasn't happening in beta1. At that time, though, I had working OS
  on both drives. (Should that make a difference?)

  Although all OS show up in the Grub boot menu on reboot, this message
  could cause some users to think that there's an error.
