I have a triple boot setup Windows, openSUSE 11.4 and another linux distro.
After I installed openSUSE, GRUB listed openSUSE and Windows but did not list the other linuxdistro. How do I get it to list all of the OS’s available? Other distros have utilities such ad REDO member or others that will pick up all distros and OSs. Is there such a thing here?
updategrub for openSUSE Legacy Grub (not update-grub!)
Or
Tell us what distro
Show us the result of
fdisk -l
and tell us which partition is the other distro
linux-6vn7:/home/rick2210 # updategrub
If ‘updategrub’ is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf updategrub
linux-6vn7:/home/rick2210 # cnf updategrub
updategrub: command not found
linux-6vn7:/home/rick2210 #
Or
Tell us what distro
Show us the result of
fdisk -l
and tell us which partition is the other distro

sda6 is the linux partition not detected by grub
sda7 is /home
sda8 is the openSUSE install
But what distro is it?? It matters!
Is sda7 /home for the distro in sda6?
You didn’t install it.
From where? It isn’t listed in YAST.
PCLinuxOS XFCE version
Yes
There is a ‘Boot Loader’ on the menu that executes /etc/lib/bootloader/bootloader_entry
You need to add and refresh my repo first, then you can install updategrub from YaST.
One way to add the repo is to do it in a terminal by typing (or pasting) the following:
su -l
zypper ar [noparse]http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/please_try_again/openSUSE_11.4/[/noparse] PTA
zypper refresh PTA
But once you are in the terminal, you can just add one command to install the script:
zypper in updategrub
What do you mean by “… add and refresh my repo first …”? What is “my repo”?
What does “updategrub” do differently than “'Boot Loader” from the Menu
