Title:
  Only new install shows up in boot menu

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  Have an AMD 64 machine with Vista and Ubuntu 8.04 installed (selected via Grub boot menu).
  Running install in new partition (/dev/sda5) from Ubuntu Studio 9.10 Beta amd64 alternate install .iso (verified OK).
  During grub install the other os'es where detected correctly but after the install completed only the new OS (w. recovery and memtest options) show up in grub menu.
  Did update all packages and then "sudo os-prober" + "sudo update-grub" and this helped -- all OS'es show up in menu.

  Remaining missfeatures:

  -Menu now says "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-6-rt" instead of something like
  "Ubuntu Studio 9.10 beta..." that would have been preferred.

  - 8.04 now boots mostly in text mode instead of the usual graphical
  splash.
