Contains contents of requested files other than grub as use grub2 (.cfg included)

The "drakboot" program crashed. Drakbug-16.26.12 caught it.

Changing Boot system on drive sdb to sdb add a Windows boot and changing descriptions on multi Linux boot selections to show what drive.

    grub2-install output too (mga#15439)
    
    It would help mga#15751 too

Comment 3 Thierry Vignaud 2015-06-03 11:14:26 CEST

Can you try with latest drakxtools update applied?
So that we got the actual error message from grub2-install?

Contains contents of requested files other than grub as use grub2 (.cfg included)

At your request the is what I get having added Windows partition sda1 and note that the grub.cfg seems to have more entries also the boot drive as set as sda is a GPT drive! :

----------------------
[vince@study ~]$ sudo drakboot -boot

      If you want to list systemd services use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
      To see services enabled on particular target use
      'systemctl list-dependencies [target]'.

Comment 5 Vincent Coen 2015-06-14 19:56:23 CEST

Small points:

when started including via MCC it reports no bootloader found, creating a new configuration
next screen shows only 3 entries:

* linux (/boot/vmlinuz)
  server 3.14,41-1.mga4  .. etc 
  failsafe (/boot/vmlinuz)


Next I add entry for Windows on sda1  and then Finish


Looking at grub.cfg now it shows:

Comment 6 Samuel Verschelde 2015-09-21 13:20:46 CEST

Mageia 4 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-09-19. It is is no longer 
maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug 
fix updates.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't 
able to fix it before Mageia 4's end of life. If you are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and 
change it against that version of Mageia. If it's valid in several versions, 
select the highest and add MGAxTOO in whiteboard for each other valid release.
Example: it's valid in cauldron and Mageia 5, set to cauldron and add MGA5TOO.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the
packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you 
most [2].

Comment 7 Marja Van Waes 2015-10-27 06:57:56 CET

As announced over a month ago, Mageia 4 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-09-19. It is is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.

This issue may have been fixed in a later Mageia release, so, if you still see it and didn't already do so: please upgrade to Mageia 5 (or, if you read this much later than this is written: make sure you run a currently maintained Mageia version)

If you are able to reproduce it against a maintained version of Mageia, you are encouraged to
1. reopen this bug report, by changing the "Status" from "RESOLVED - OLD" to "REOPENED"
2. click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. If you know it's valid in several versions, select the highest and add MGAxTOO in whiteboard for each other valid release.
Example: it's valid in cauldron and Mageia 5, set to cauldron and add MGA5TOO.
3. give as much relevant information as possible. If you're not an experienced bug reporter and have some time: please read this page:
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_report_a_bug_properly

If you see a similar issue, but are _not_sure_ it is the same, with the same cause, then please file a new bug report and mention this one in it (please include the bug number, too).

If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the
packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you
most [2].
