Title:
  missing initrd line for linux mint

Status in os-prober package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  My laptop has multiple linux distros installed: Fedora, Ubuntu Gnome
  and Linux Mint.

  When generating a new grub2.cfg file, both grub2-mkconfig (on Fedora) and update-grub2 (on Ubuntu) do not add the initrd line for all of the Linux Mint boot entries in grub2. 
  Therefore, I can't boot Linux Mint (without manually changing the boot entries for Linux Mint). 

  When I want to boot Linux Mint, I always have to do it manually from grub, via ...
  linux (hd_,gpt_)/vmlinuz... root=/dev/disk/by-label/LINUX-MINT-ROOT
  initrd (hd_,gpt_)/initrd...

  Similar bug to #596266 : 
  - Ubuntu's grub2-update correctly recognizes Fedora and creates correct grub2 boot entries for it
  - Fedora's grub2-mkconfig correctly recognizes Ubuntu and creates correct grub2 boot entries for it.
