In my previous story about kernel panic after upgrade linux system (Parrot OS in my case), some of us maybe face other problem. The problem is GRUB couldn’t identify other operating system (if you use dual boot).

in my case my Windows OS couldn’t identify by GRUB. If Windows doesn’t show up when booting the operating system, you can fix this issue by making sure that other operating systems are also displayed during startup. Follow these steps:

  1. Open your terminal and navigate to the directory /etc/default/ (or you can navigate using GUI)
  2. Open the grub file using a text editor (you can use nano, but make sure to edit the file as root).
  3. Add the following line to the file:
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false

4. Save the file.

5. Update your grub configuration:

sudo update-grub

6. Reboot your system.

If this solution doesn’t work for your case, please leave a comment.

Note: These instructions assume that you are using a system with GRUB as the bootloader and a Debian-based Linux distribution (like Parrrot). If you are using a different setup, the steps may vary.
