[Bug 425379] [NEW] [Karmic Alpha 5] grub doesn't install entries for other OS (Ubuntu Jaunty/Windows XP)

[Loïc Martin]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grub2

After a Karmic Alpha 5 live CD install (i386), at reboot grub (grub 2)
only shows entries for the Karmic install on /dev/sda5 (first logical
partition), and doesn't show entries for the Jaunty install on /dev/sda2
(primary partition) not for a Windows XP install on /dev/sda3

For install, the custom partitioning option was used (Ubiquity only
other option was to wipe the entire disk, even though /dev/sda5 was
empty...), no partitions were deleted/created, /dev/sda1 chosen as a
swap partition, /dev/sda5 as an ext4 / partition, /dev/sda2 as an ext3
partition mounted on /media/stable and /dev/sda3 not used. Only
/dev/sda1 and /dev/sda5 were formated.

(note that since then I've re-plugged another HD on the second MB SATA
port, which for an obscure reason always get detected by Ubuntu as
/dev/sda, so the ubuntu-bug collected data might show the Karmic
partition as /dev/sdb5, the Jaunty one as /dev/sdb2 and the XP one as
/dev/sdb3.)
