mnaud.free I'm not sure how grub is handled when you have mutiple instances of linux installed. You might be currently setup to use the grub off of the Mandriva partition, and not Mageia's grub. Try booting into mandriva and run "update-grub". You can also run "os-prober" to see if you're detecting your Mageia partition. CC:

zen25000 I finally removed mandriva from sdb1 and moved my Mageia install from sdb5 to sdb1. After updating a few lines in menu.lst, Mageia boots fine. Ok can we close one in this case? I think the problem comes from a dialog box that did exist in mandriva (before 2011) and was suppressed in mga. This dialog box proposed different places (partitions) to install the boot loader. Could it be restored ? I had a question about the bootloader installation. So as I understand it, you installed Mandriva first, and Mageia second correct? If so, did you skip the bootloader installation step when installing Mageia, or did you proceed with the installation and overwrite the Grub from Mandriva?

It is there, but only accessible from the summary page during installation. http://docteam.mageia.nl/en/DrakX/content/setupBootloader.html If this is ignored, then the installation will default to installing grub to the MBR.

I had a spare partition sdb5 to install Mageia I don't remember exactly the sequence but remember that I had no choice where to put the bootloader Since the system in question has now been totally changed - no further diagnostics are possible on the installation, so closing. Please feel free to re-open if you reproduce the problem. Status:
