Hi!
Okay.
I opened the file 40_custom (maybe another name in a newer version of Fedora):
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom
completing after "...line above.":
Quote:
menuentry "start GRUB in sdaY" {
set root=(hdX,Y)
chainloader +1
}
where X and Y have to be replaced with the user's dates, e.g.
sda3 if Fedora is installed on partiion 3 of the first hd and (hd0,2).
Save as 06_fedora in /etc/grub.d/
Make executable:
Code:
sudo chmod +x /etc/grub.d/06_fedora
Write a new grub.cfg:
Code:
sudo update-grub
Reboot -> Grub menu contains "start GRUB in sdaY" (Fedora)
Alfredo

If you don't even need an "insmod", that should be raised as a bug in os-prober IMHO.
