Description Jybz 2021-02-16 10:08:12 CET

Hello, I tried an install in order to try to reproduce a bug, I use the nonfree netinstall mga8 RC1.

I used a local mirror, and at the end of the installation, on the mirror side I see an error :

> 192.168.0.30 - - [16/Feb/2021 08:56:20] "GET /distrib/8/x86_64/media/core/release/grub2-mageia-theme-2.04.0-28.mga8.noarch.rpm HTTP/1.1" 200 -
> 192.168.0.30 - - [16/Feb/2021 08:56:32] code 404, message File not found
> 192.168.0.30 - - [16/Feb/2021 08:56:32] "GET /distrib/8/x86_64/install/images/hd_grub.img HTTP/1.1" 404 -

I don't know if it is important, it seems not so important as the VM started correctly. But IMO, it should not try to get a file that is not longer existing.

The file is not "missing" in my local repository, as it isn't also in the ftp.free.fr repo :
http://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/mageia.org/distrib/8/x86_64/install/images/
BUT
instead of 
hd_grub.img
there is a :
Mageia-8-hd_grub-x86_64.img

Thank you for the report, and the research.

1) This rpm should exist:
Name        : grub2-mageia-theme
Version     : 2.04.0
Release     : 28.mga8
Group       : System/Boot and Init
Size        : 615049                       Architecture: noarch
Source RPM  : grub2-2.04.0-28.mga8.src.rpm

2) You are right about 'hd_grub.img' not existing; pkg/SRPM
 drakx-installer-images has:
install/images/Mageia-8-hd_grub-x86_64.img
install/images/Mageia-8-hd_grub-nonfree-x86_64.img

Assigning to the Mageia Tools group for netinstaller.

Source RPM: (none) => grub2-2.04.0-28.mga8.src.rpm, drakx-installer-images-2.81-19.mga8.src.rpm

missing grub2-mageia-theme-2.04.0-28.mga8.noarch.rpm was probably due to mid-sync of rpms


hd_grub.img compat link added back on primary mirrors


will fix up d-i-i better for mga9

Target Milestone: --- => Mageia 9
