text/plain The menu.lst has already been attached here. I meant the menu.lst.old Also which one of the entry is causing the bug to happen? Unfortunately the menu.lst.old is not the one from which I have removed an item. There has been an entry for the Mandriva Enterprise Server which has been installed on partition /dev/hda5 . I have removed its entry from the bootloader menu and also some alt_ ... entries. After pressing the save button in the MCC the error had happened. The question is from where came the "swap/boot/gfxmenu" string. From the various reports I've seen, it looks like it come from some other distro. It looks like we may try to generate "missing" initrd for such foreign entries for bogus(?) entries manually added to the config file (see bug #4290) Any change you deleted the MES partition, thus the partitions got renumbered, thus your swap partition tooks the number of the previous MES partition ? I've a fix for such situation (in git). Yes, I have deleted the MES partition in order to assign a new filesystem and format it at a later time. And the partitions have got renumbered. This is an installation of former Mandriva 2009, 2010 and Mageia 1. I have used update installations with DVDs to make the updates. The bootmanager should also be able to survive the renumbering of the partitions. drakxtools update pushed: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Support/Advisories/MGAA-2012-0188 Status:
