Title:
  update-grub fails generating Fedora 13 entry

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  SO: GNU/Linux Ubuntu 10.04 64bits
  Package: grub-pc 1.98
  Binaries: update-grub / grub-mkconfig
  Grub module: OS_prober
  Expected: A correct grub entry to use Fedora as alternative OS.
  Happened: grub2 generates a incomplete entry for Fedora 13, missing the initrd line, so Fedora can't boot.

  Example entry:

  ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
  menuentry "Fedora release 13 (Goddard) (on /dev/sdb2)" {
  	insmod ext2
  	set root='(hd1,2)'
  	search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set b32a0b6e-2485-4125-938b-86b02506cb79
  	linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686 root=/dev/sdb2
  }
  ### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###

  You can add manually the line: "initrd
  /boot/initramfs-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686.img" to the end on the entry and
  Fedora boots perfectly while grub is not autoupdated.
