[SOLVED] How do I add Opensuse to Grub2 menu in a triple boot setup

Speedy624 · 03-19-2013, 09:36 AM

My triple boot setup consists of Fedora 18, Windows 7 and Opensuse 12.3 on 3 separate hard drives.

HD1: Windows 7 - sda
HD2: Fedora 18 - sdb
HD3: Opensuse 12.3 - sdc

I have installed Opensuse on sdc and the bootloader into /. I have rebooted my system after installation and only have Windows 7 and Fedora in the Grub2 menu, I would like to add Opensuse to menu.

Can someone maybe walk me through how this can be done or point me to a tutorial that can help me do this?

Thank you in advance.

I have reinstalled Opensuse after not getting a response here or the #suse, #fedora, #grub irc channels and have installed the bootloader but opensuse is not showing up in the grub menu.

Read this. os-prober should find SuSE.

Grub contains scripts and tools which automatically detect new operating systems and update your GRUB menu as needed. The commands grub2-mkconfig (search up the man pages for more information) run scripts in a diretory which ultimately update your grub.cfg file.

I read somewhere and ran 'grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg' after hours of searching. All 3 operating systems now show up in Grub2.
