Bug 26535

Created attachment 11605 [details]
Can't open /mnt/boot/grub2/grub.cfg for reading: No such file or directory

This happens when I click on "Next" on the Summary page.

I ran drakboot and ticked off "Probe other os" and got this message.

error: package os-prober is not installed

Then I manually installed os-prober and ran drakboot again and disabled, again, "Probe other os" and ACPI.

Hello Stig. Thanks for the screenshot, that always makes things clear.
"Can't open /mnt/boot/grub2/grub.cfg for reading: No such file or directory"
I have seen this error message before, but cannot find the bug(s).

You are doing this under VMware. Are you able to try the same installation on real hardware?

> ticked off "Probe other os"
Unsure whether this meant tick it or clear it; guess from "package os-prober is not installed" the former, that it was previously clear.

Assigning to base system, CC Thierry for drakboot (drakxtools).

Ticked "off", removed the option. My thinking is ticked on and ticked off :-)

I don't have the option to install on real HW at the moment.

The problem is that I'm not getting a graphical grub meny and have to load the kernel and initrd manually to boot. Makes it a bit hard to reboot the system.

Cheers,
Stig

Apr 13 16:09 Mageia-Cauldron-netinstall-nonfree-x86_64.iso has the same pop up
on on real hardware, bios set legacy boot, GPT with bios_grub partition.

workaround was to get into boot configuration and make a change to boot line
like removing "quite". Left everything else as is. Boot loader was install
and system came up runlevel5/gui with no problems.
