Dual boot : os-prober does not recognize updated CentOS kernel
Hi LQ,
Since the good folks at OpenSUSE released the latest version 15, I decided to upgrade my buggy version of Leap 42.2. The upgrade was done via a live USB and not by usual 'zypper dup'
This is my oldest laptop, which housed CentOS 7.4 and Leap 42.2 as dual boot setup. Opensuse was (& is) in charge of handling the Grub2 bootloader menu.
After the new OpenSUSE was installed, it detected my CentOS installation as it should and added entry to bootloader. Then, I decided to do a kernel upgrade on CentOS from 3.10.0-693.17.1.el7.x86_64 to 3.10.0-862.3.2.el7. I still wanted opensuse to handle the grub2 menu. So I completed the kernel update on CentOS, rebooted and logged into OpenSUSE and ran 'os-prober'.
Output -
Code:
acer-SUSE:~ # os-prober
/dev/mapper/VG_Cent7_R-root:CentOS Linux 7 (Core):CentOS:linux
So, now, I can log into the older kernel version of CentOS and not to the newer kernel. Could you please tell what I am doing wrong ?
I have looked at dedoimedo's tutorial along with others on the LQ forum. I am sure this question has been asked previously (and answered), but it's challenging to find a needle in a haystack when 70% of the threads talk about dual booting with windows and legacy grub. If you could point me to a helpful thread, that'd be very much appreciated.
CentOS current and installed kernel -

Do I need to edit the grub2.cfg of opensuse manually and just add the entry for 3.10.0-862.3.2.el7.x86_64 ?
2. I was actually seeking guidance on this step.. but went ahead anyway. (had my live USB ready)
Code:
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Generating grub configuration file ...
Found theme: /boot/grub2/themes/openSUSE/theme.txt
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-4.12.14-lp150.12.4-default
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd-4.12.14-lp150.12.4-default
Found CentOS Linux 7 (Core) on /dev/mapper/VG_Cent7_R-root
done
3. Here's my grub.cfg after. Observe that it has detected the newer kernel on the CentOS.
Code:
# cat /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
#
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
#
# It is automatically generated by grub2-mkconfig using templates
# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub
