Description Simple 2012-04-23 19:53:00 CEST
I run "drakboot --boot" and in advanced tab, i select for example resolution 1280x1024 16bpp.

When booting again i can now see that instead appearing the original mageia boot image, instead appears a colored bar in the bottom of the screen.

Can you attach a screenshot of the adavanced tab? I see nothing but a list of ticky boxes there...

Thierry what more info is needed?
Comment 5 Colin Guthrie 2012-04-24 16:57:27 CEST
Ahh right, I was on the advanced screen on the first page, not after "next". I can see the steps now, but not sure what the problem will be. It's possibly because you're using nokmsboot....
Comment 6 Simple 2012-04-24 17:03:09 CEST
if that would be the problem i wouldnt have the mageia boot image in any resolution and the problem is about the Mageia boot image disappear when using resolution > 1024x768
Comment 7 Colin Guthrie 2012-04-24 17:11:26 CEST
why would that be the case? kms affects the ability for the boot process to change resolutions, so it could easily interfere with things. Not saying it's the problem in this case, but I wouldn't discount it completely.
Comment 8 Simple 2012-04-25 02:30:51 CEST
Colin you were right, after i removed nokmsboot from grub, it then booted fine with Mageia boot image, so now we know what triggers the problem

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
