Title:
  update-grub lists CentOS but doesn't add it to grub.cfg

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  After installing CentOS in an empty space on the disk without choosing
  to install the boot loader (old Grub), running "update-grub" on Ubuntu
  lists CentOS:

  Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-3-generic-pae
  Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-3-generic-pae
  Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-24-generic-pae
  Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-24-generic-pae
  Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
  Found CentOS release 5.5 (Final) on /dev/sda4
  done

  But in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, CentOS isn't listed and doesn't show in
  the menu during boot. The partition layout is as follows:

  1 Primary ext4 Ubuntu /
  2 Primary Extended (added by the Ubuntu installer)
  3 Primary ext3 CentOS /boot
  4 Primary ext3 CentOS /
  5 Logical swap (shared)

  By default, CentOS creates 2 partitions. One for /boot and one LVM PV
  with a VG for / and swap.

  I've attached the output of sfdisk -l /dev/sda and cfdisk -Ps
  /dev/sda.
