1 Hi all. I'm having a problem with os-prober not finding other linux
2 partitions.
3
4 I'm on x86_64 and an old spinning drive with an msdos partition table
5 and 4 primary partitions, 3 linux and 1 swap.
6
7 os-prober runs successfully as per bash's return code, but no partitions
8 are found.
9
10 grub (grub2) is built with the 'mount' use flag, and when 'grub-mkconfig
11 -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg' is run, the result is the same, i.e., the gentoo
12 partition is found but no others.
13
14 Any suggestions on where to check from here?
