Re: Grub & os-prober

Hi, apbooth.
I wish I'd have seen your post earlier.

I encountered the same problem yesterday.
Symptoms:
- grub is working perfectly
- os-prober is detecting other system correctly
- but when I try to execute grub-mkconfig other OS is not determined

After a small research I figured out that grub hook (/etc/grub.d/30_os-prober) checks the existence of os-prober by calling which command.
The solution was the same (pacman -Syu which).

According to the Home page, as far as I understand the new arch distribution have no some packages which were included into previous versions:

The base group has been replaced by a metapackage of the same name. We advise users to install this package (pacman -Syu base), as it is effectively mandatory from now on.

So we have to install many packages manually, correct me if I'm wrong.
