Hi,

i cannot start my windows using grub2. What am i supposed to insert into grub.cfg to get it working. It appears in the boot menu but when hitting it does not start.
Currently my grub.cfg loooks like this:

Code:

if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ]; then
  load_env
fi
if [ "${next_entry}" ] ; then
   set default="${next_entry}"
   set next_entry=
   save_env next_entry
   set boot_once=true
else
   set default="0"
fi

if [ x"${feature_menuentry_id}" = xy ]; then
  menuentry_id_option="--id"
else
  menuentry_id_option=""
fi

export menuentry_id_option

if [ "${prev_saved_entry}" ]; then
  set saved_entry="${prev_saved_entry}"
  save_env saved_entry
  set prev_saved_entry=
  save_env prev_saved_entry
  set boot_once=true
fi

function savedefault {
  if [ -z "${boot_once}" ]; then
    saved_entry="${chosen}"
    save_env saved_entry
  fi
}

function load_video {
  if [ x$feature_all_video_module = xy ]; then
    insmod all_video
  else
    insmod efi_gop
    insmod efi_uga
    insmod ieee1275_fb
    insmod vbe
    insmod vga
    insmod video_bochs
    insmod video_cirrus
  fi
}
if [ x$feature_default_font_path = xy ] ; then
   font=unicode
else
insmod part_msdos
insmod xfs
set root='hd0,msdos14'
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos14 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos14 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos14  f6036196-466d-4b9a-81e6-5ede215bfc51
else
  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root f6036196-466d-4b9a-81e6-5ede215bfc51
fi
    font="/usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2"
fi

if loadfont $font ; then
  set gfxmode=auto
  load_video
  insmod gfxterm
  set locale_dir=$prefix/locale
  set lang=de_DE
  insmod gettext
fi
terminal_output gfxterm
if [ x$feature_timeout_style = xy ] ; then
  set timeout_style=menu
  set timeout=5
# Fallback normal timeout code in case the timeout_style feature is
# unavailable.
else
  set timeout=5
fi

When I run:

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

I end up with the following in grub.cfg for the two Windows 7 partitions I have (sda1 is the hidden factory restore partition and sda2 is the C: drive):

Code:
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
menuentry 'Windows Vista (loader) (on /dev/sda1)' --class windows --class os $menuentry_id_option 'osprober-chain-A6863E9F863E7043' {
        insmod part_msdos
        insmod ntfs
        set root='hd0,msdos1'
        if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
          search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos1 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos1 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos1  A6863E9F863E7043
        else
          search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root A6863E9F863E7043
        fi
        parttool ${root} hidden-
        chainloader +1
}
menuentry 'Windows Vista (loader) (on /dev/sda2)' --class windows --class os $menuentry_id_option 'osprober-chain-A2243DA8243D7FF9' {
        insmod part_msdos
        insmod ntfs
        set root='hd0,msdos2'
        if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
          search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos2 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos2 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos2  A2243DA8243D7FF9
