Hi there,

I have installed Fedora 19 to my machine. My fdisk -l looks below

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1            2048     2459647     1228800    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT

Partition table entries are not in disk order

However after running in openSUSE


grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

My openSUSE grub2 is still the same.

On the other hand Fedora grub2 (which I am currently using) does pick up all my 3 OS and could boot them.

I would upgrade to openSUSE 13.1 soon and by that time I assume my openSUSE grub2 would be used as boot. Would openSUSE 13.1 pick up Fedora as 1 of the OS and include it in grub2?
If not could I change boot flag to Fedora and update grub2 there as a fix? Thanks.

When you change the font inside the CODE tags, you nullify the effect of the CODE tags. >:)

When in openSUSE
Mount the fedora root partition in the file manager
Then run

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

thank after mounting fedora it appears working.

Is Fedora installed in that LVM?

If so, that’s the reason for your problem. You have to make the LVM accessible (with “vgchange -a y”) before the linux inside the LVM will be picked up.

When I last tried Fedora, it was the other way for me. The Fedora grub menu did not pickup opensuse. It was my opensuse that was using an LVM (an encrypted LVM).

I’ve had Fedora in non LVM with the same issue FYI
