The bug has disappeared when I have unplug video Radeon 280x and use the integrated to mb video card for installing the OS.

Thank you for reply.
I don't sure. Waiting for Mageia 6... Will tell you then.

Comment 4 Thierry Vignaud 2016-06-23 11:46:00 CEST

from grub2's po/ru.po, the following:
"grub2-install: Ð¿ÑÐµÐ´ÑÐ¿ÑÐµÐ¶Ð´ÐµÐ½Ð¸Ðµ: Ð¼ÐµÑÐºÐ° ÑÐ°Ð·Ð´ÐµÐ»Ð° GPT Ð½Ðµ Ð¸Ð¼ÐµÐµÑ BIOS Boot Partition; Ð²ÑÑÑÐ°Ð¸Ð²Ð°Ð½Ð¸Ðµ Ð½ÐµÐ²Ð¾Ð·Ð¼Ð¾Ð¶Ð½Ð¾"
means:
"grub2-install: warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible"

This is fixed in mga6 where we creates such a partition.

As we don't plan to respin a mga5 live cd and as the commits for adding BIOS boot partition as intrusive, I think it's best to close that one as dup of the feature bug.
@Thomas: Do you agree?
