Comment 1 Marja Van Waes 2016-07-16 09:12:36 CEST

What is the output of 

    rpm -qa | grep grub

and of
   
    rpm -qa | grep drakxtools

Comment 2 Thierry Vignaud 2016-07-16 09:41:19 CEST

Are you using grub2?
If yes that's expected as grub2 auto generates its menu, so we cannot alter it.

Comment 3 Christian C 2016-07-16 10:18:00 CEST

$ rpm -qa | grep grub
grub2-2.02-0.git10457.10.mga6
grub2-common-2.02-0.git10457.10.mga6
grub2-mageia-theme-2.02-0.git10457.10.mga6
grub-doc-0.97-43.mga6
$ rpm -qa | grep drakxtools
drakxtools-backend-17.51-1.mga6
drakxtools-curses-17.51-1.mga6
drakxtools-17.51-1.mga6

> If yes that's expected as grub2 auto generates its menu, so we cannot alter it
It's a problem now as we can't add/remove the boot options.

commit fbc399721879746f2cc69208dba3a42b290b0a7d
Author: Thierry Vignaud <thierry.vignaud@...>

    grub2: fix not being able to edit default cmdline
    
    Keep default append value (aka /etc/default/grub's
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT into {default_append} variable)
    
    Always use the value passed as now write_grub2_sysconfig() is only
    called after having offered to display the default cmdline value
    
    On first run (during installer) or when migrating from grub-legacy or
    lilo, we get the first entry's parameters
    
    Thus resolving  mga#18952
