I had Windows 8 installed, shrunk it and installed Fedora 17 using the free space. It now only boots into Fedora.

I have these two EFI partitions:

/dev/sda2
  /EFI
    /Boot/bootx64.efi
    /toshiba/Boot
      /bootmgfw.efi
      /bootmgr.efi
      ...
    /Microsoft/Boot
      /bootmgfw.efi
      /bootmgr.efi
      ...

/dev/sda6
  /EFI/redhat
    /device.map
    /grub.conf -- this is the config file used
    /grub.efi

I've tried all .efi files on sda2. When one of those options is selected the Grub menu redraws. Nothing happens and no errors are given.

grub.conf:

...
boot=/dev/sda6
...
title win8
  root (hd0,2)
  chainloader /EFI/path to one of the .efi files

Using Grub 0.97-93.tc17

Oddly, if I enter the grub command-line and enter these two commands I boot up into windows with no problems:

root (hd0,2)
quit

If possible I'd like to have an entry I can just select instead.
