You have been subscribed to a public bug:
Ubuntu 12's Grub2 does not pick up Fedora 17 volumes. Fedora is more
cordial - it includes Ubunutu. Other volmes (Linux Mint and Windows
Vista) are found.
I was trying to maintain a configuration where Fedora managed Grub2. It
appears the last Ubuntu kernel update snuck in an update-grub2, which
lost the menu entry.
Not being a Grub expert, this becomes painful.
