Description Rémi Verschelde 2015-04-23 22:22:30 CEST
Testing the DualDVD in a 32bit VM (hosted on Cauldron, VirtualBox), I see two similar entries to install Mageia 5 in the bootloader, with a slight difference in the kernel parameters:
- "Install Mageia 5 cauldron": initrd=i586/all.rdz automatic=method:cdrom vga=788 splash quiet noiswmd
- "i586": initrd=i586/all.rdz vga=788 splash quiet noiswmd

So the only difference seems to be "automatic=method:cdrom" which is missing from the "i586" boot entry. I guess the latter should be removed.

There is no duplicate entry when booting in a 64bit VM (though in this very case, one would like to have a boot entry for x86_64, and another for i586, but that's another matter ;-)).
