Does this mean this package is totally unusable right now? I'd personally go so far as to mask it in the portage tree. At least until someone can fix it. I'd almost be willing to do it myself except I'm not quite in a position to do so. Still, I'll do some browsing and if I can come up with some kind of fix, I'll post it here. To the best of my knowledge this has never worked in a livecd or chroot environment. Which is what it looks like due to the "livecd" prompt. I can verify that it does work once you boot the actual system though. I've always had to run grub-mkconfig once booted into my install to get my windows partition to show up in grub. Maybe its due to udev not actually running inside the chroot...I don't know. When using lvm it'll toss a warning about lvmetad because lvm isn't running in the chroot so maybe...its a similar reason with udev. The problem appears to be related to the lack of a --bind mounted /run/udev in the chrooted environment. See https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GRUB2#os-prober_and_UEFI_in_chroot. The bug has been closed via the following commit(s): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=cafa4c43d97fd9b6b12fa5a25fa82ef2a14304d8 commit cafa4c43d97fd9b6b12fa5a25fa82ef2a14304d8 Author: Peter Levine <plevine457@gmail.com> AuthorDate: 2021-03-25 01:35:28 +0000 Commit: Ben Kohler <bkohler@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2021-03-26 17:44:38 +0000 sys-boot/os-prober: Add new elog info Add a message about the necessity of bind mounting /run/udev.
