I believe the issue is even easier to solve. I simply need to run 'linux-boot-prober' (in the same package as os-prober, it seems I am blinded) on the partition for which the 'linux' boot keyword is reported and interpret it's output. Expect more work on this next week. I am sorry I cannot test my script drafts, because I have no other *nix besides Debian on my machine (the first of The Ten Commandments). ;) Cheers, -- Dipl.-Phys.
