Could you attach your /boog/grub/menu.lst?

Thx for the link (PCLinuxOs is a bad downstream that never contributed back...)

Keywords: (none) => NEEDINFO

More information to find the bug :

/mnt/caelinux/ is the partition for CAE Linux 2010 (CAE Linux 2010 source : http://www.caelinux.com/CMS/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=49:caelinux-2010&catid=69&Itemid=41= ). 
CAELinux 2010 is built on the basis of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS AMD64 distribution with the latest updates.
GRUB 2 is the default boot loader and manager for Ubuntu since version 9.10 (Karmic Koala) (source : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2).

(In reply to Thierry Vignaud from comment #4)
> Could you attach your /boog/grub/menu.lst?
In my folder /boot/grub (and /mnt/boot/grub in the bash 4.3 shell in Mageia 3 RC installer), I have NO /boog/grub/menu.lst file. I think that the Mageia 3 RC installer can not create it.
The only file that I have in /boot/grub folder is :  /boot/grub/menu.lst.example , 1099 bytes, date 20 january 2013, hour 22h53 ;

OK

@Thierry 

Do you want more information to fix this bug ?
Do you want that I will do some command line and give you the results ?

For me, this bug is a big problem because I can not install Mageia 3 and I hope that it will be fixed before final release.

Yes: does "drakboot --boot" works for you?
If no, does changing " < 10" into " < 100" on line 627 in /usr/lib/libDrakX/bootloader.pm makes it work?

grub2 grub.cfg configuration file from my CAE Linux 2010 installation

grub2 grub.cfg configuration file from my CAE Linux 2010 installation that is in /mnt/caelinux//boot/grub/grub.cfg in sda14

Hello Thierry,

I found a workaround for my problem and I have installed Mageia 3,
but I think that you need to improve /usr/lib/libDrakX/bootloader.pm
to avoid this problem for others users that have already a grub 2 installation on their harddisk
and want to install Mageia 3.

My workaround tip :

1) Window : bootloader preparation window, wait a moment....

2) Window : Error window
Message : "An error is occured : add_entry"

3) Now I go in the bash 4.2 shell terminal console by using the following keys with
my keyboard : CTRL + ALT + F2

4) As you can see in my message in this ticket : " Y.LE_NY 2013-04-26 22:44:33 CEST ", I have the following error 
"* could not recognise the distribution for /mnt/caelinux//boot/grub/grub.cfg in sda14",
then I choose to rename this file" in *.bak to avoid the bootloader.pm perl script find it :
mv /mnt/caelinux/boot/grub/grub.cfg /mnt/caelinux/boot/grub/grub.cfg.BAK

5) I come back in the previous "Window : Error window" with the keyboard keys : CTRL+ALT+F7 

6) I click on the button "OK" in this error page and now all works fine and Mageia 3 installer can install 
the bootloader with no problems.

For you, Thierry, and to avoid this problem for others users that have already a grub 2 installation on their harddisk
and want to install Mageia 3, what is it the best improvement ?
* rename all Grub2 grub.cfg files on the user harddisk in grub.cfg.BAK files
or
* ignore all Grub2 grub.cfg files on the user harddisk that are not in the / (root) partition or filesystem used by Mageia 3.

Note : With this workaround, Mageia 3 does not create a clean grub menu, this menu is polluted by erroneous entries.
I will send you this file created by mageia 3 installer. 

I hope that this information will help you to have a better and strong bootloader.pm perl script, our goal : Mageia at the first place at distrowatch.com.

grub legacy menu entries file created by Mageia 3 installer

grub legacy menu entries file created by Mageia 3 installer
Mageia 3 does not create a clean grub menu, this menu is polluted by erroneous entries.
I will send you this file created by mageia 3 installer.

What about what I asked in comment #8?
- rename back your grub2 config without .bak,
- save your menu.lst: "mv /boot/grub/menu.lst{,.OK}"
- try running "drakboot --boot"

Yes after installing Mageia 3.
See below.

>If no, does changing " < 10" into " < 100" on line 627 in /usr/lib/libDrakX
>/bootloader.pm makes it work?
I did no test with value 100.
