Description katnatek 2017-08-05 19:28:32 CEST

Description of problem:

In a dual installation Windows 7 / Mageia 6 when you boot into mageia, after reboot the Mageia option becomes the default boot option, same happen for Windows.

I install Mageia 6 with the Classical i586 ISO dumped to USB with isodumper.
In the installation: 
 I select plasma as desktop
 I mark Windows as the default option.

I will provide later the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg or any required info.

Forgot to say: MGA 6 is a fresh install not a upgrade.

I believe that's the way grub2 works.  grub had a default which never changed; grub2 remembers the last one used and makes that the default.

Yep, its the default behaviour.

If you want to change it, edit /etc/default/grub

and change GRUB_DEFAULT and GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT according to what you want.
