Meanwhile I'm testing a setup similar to yours (foreign os's root is btrfs on lvm).

I'm not sure the foreign os are having /boot as a separate partition or not .. Anyway waiting for your new log now. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The question to me is that your foreign oS13.1's /boot is in that LVM VG or on a separate partition (/dev/sdaX) ? If inside the LVM it would not be listed. About eComstation on /dev/sda1 not listed, it looks to me the problem is on /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/90linux-distro. Would you please check your presence ld-linux.so. Or the question should be eComstation Linux or Not ? If it's not Linux I'm afraid it's not supported by now. See what's supported in /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/. # This test is inaccurate, but given separate / and /boot partitions and the # fact that only some architectures have ld-linux.so, I can't see anything # better. Make sure this test has a high number so that more accurate tests # can come first. # Unless volumes to checked are already mounted, they will be mounted using # GRUB's own filesystems through FUSE. Since these ATM doesn't support # symlinks we need to also check in $dir/usr/lib* for distributions that # moved /lib* to /usr and only left symlinks behind. # TODO: look for ld-linux.so on arches that have it if (ls "$dir"/lib*/ld*.so* || ls "$dir"/usr/lib*/ld*.so*) >/dev/null 2>/dev/null; then -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If I fiddle the scripts (/usr/lib/os-probes/50mounted-tests) a little bit, the os-prober outputs correctly, but need to figure out a proper fix. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The file system should be FAT, HPFS or JFS. eComstation systems have an additional system directory called /ecs with some /ecs/bin and /ecs/system subdirectories; if you prefer a file you could perhaps check for the /ecs/bin/version.cmd script though I can not guarantee for that file having existed since eComstation 1.0. Basically you can cover eComstation systems like any other OS/2 installation though a different title would be nice. Do not trust the /etc/os2-release file as it is not here on elder systems and does not contain useful data. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
