V15.2 is running quite well here except that Grub2 is unable to detect other systems on different partitions of the same hard disk. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I haven't tried alphaOS 15.2 but generally, after adding the new menu entry to etc/grub.d/40_custom, what you would do is generate a new grub.cfg file.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB#Automatically_generating_using_.2Fetc.2Fgrub.d.2F40_custom_and_grub-mkconfig
Actually when I checked my grub.cfg I had only, except for alphaos entries, one other entry for booting to grub4dos
and from which I am able to boot to other OS's. Did you use Aspi's installer?
generally, what grub-mkconfig does is just source 40_custom anyways, so it's the same process; in this setup, you just have to do it yourself and not through grub-mkconfig. there is a reason grub.cfg is opened after writing it, so it needs to pass your quality control, the user (full movie#39m10s is better). this is arch after all: understand it, or don't use it
smil99 wrote:Yes, I used that as it is already present in V15.2 and Grub4Dos is no more. My grub.cfg doesn't generate any entry for booting to grub4dos.
Code: Select all
menuentry "Grub4Dos" {
linux /_ISO/e2b/grub/grub.exe
}

do you install at HDD or USB? I can't see the point of detecting other systems if installing for USB, though would be nice for HDD install. I use for USB only.
