"3.There is no option for a bootloader to be installed (If sda drive is selected the bootloader options is offered) When booted into new install Use MCC/Boot set up boot system," so one was installed as you can boot ? "It reports "No bootloader found creating a new configuration", Select ok it takes you back to main screen" was that with grub2 install ? "If I try grub-install /dev/sda it installs grub legacy but I only get grub prompt" what for grub prompt ? also can you _attach_ your /root/drakx/report.bug

I have my own grub2 installed on sda and a boot partition sda1 which I edit grub.cfg as needed. To boot my new install I edited grub prompt or add it to my grub.cfg When I install to sdax drive the bootloader option is present and I can install it (over write my own grub) and use it There is no /root/drakx/report.bug as I used a live dvd version
then the MCC/Boot issue is "normal" and known.

Ok so then we have the no bootloader option when installing on to 2nd/3rd hdd
Which iso are you using to install?
It would of been Mageia-4-alpha1-LiveCD-GNOME-en-i586-CD.iso and I tried Mageia-4-alpha1-LiveDVD-GNOME-i586-DVD.iso, As I said if I choose to install to sdaX I get the bootloader option.
I couldn't get gnome to start in live mode (gnome shell segfault). It's truly alpha level quality at this point, so I installed using the kde x86-64 livedvd which shouldn't matter, as the installer parts are common. I installed with just /, on sdb5. When it got to the bootloader configuration, I was able to use the dropdown box to select sdb5 to install the grub to, instead of sda. (I use the gag boot manager on sda). Had no problems. Are you not seeing the bootloader configuration dialog at all?
No it gets to the user part then finishes. I will run again, Report back I,m sure it exits install screen and I end up at Desktop?
In #c8 more info was promised. Not seen since 15 months. However pre-5 installers will not be fixed. Could you state how this holds against 5beta1 or higher and change the whiteboard accordingly? Thanks. Otherwise we should close as OLD, I regret to tell.
