I just installed Fedora 15 to do some gnome3 testing and it still uses an antiquated grub. Rather than spending the time to add my many operating systems to it's grub I chose to just accept the default (Fedora only) and when the installation was complete I used the chroot procedure here (METHOD 3 - CHROOT):
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD
To reinstall my Maverick grub 2, but I noticed Fedora was not picked up by os-prober. No biggy, I rebooted (and after fiddling in BIOS to get past the Fedora CD rebooting rather than ejecting) I booted into Maverick and once again ran "update-grub".
Arrgh, still not found! Still not a problem, this works for detecting many operating systems:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libdebian-installer4
sudo os-prober
sudo update-grub
It worked ............ again!
So, if you want to check out the full suckage of gnome3/gnome-shell rock on. You'll soon find that SABDFL was right in pursuing Unity :D
Credit where credit is due, I learned this a long time ago here:

I've found it works for adding a lot of "nux" OS's to grub 2, enjoy.
