Description Ben McMonagle 2015-04-25 00:58:48 CEST 
Description of problem:In a multi HDD system with GPT and MSDos partitioning schemes, the MSdos /swap partition is presented as a system (/) at installation bootloader configuration page when the installation is onto the GPT disk 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:every time I run an installation


Steps to Reproduce:
1.have at least 2 HDD system, 1 in MSDos partioning scheme with at least /swap,/, /home, the other in GPT partitioning with at least /swap, /efi, and sufficient partitions to complete an install
2.install a new Mageia5 system onto the HDD with GPT partitioning
3.inspect bootloader configuration page


Reproducible: 

Steps to Reproduce:

BTW you can use "F2" next time in order to take screenshots instead of using a camera for photos....

the first one was the wrong one, this is the correct one

Attachment 6386 is obsolete: 0 => 1

Comment 10 Thierry Vignaud 2015-04-28 13:00:06 CEST 
BTW There's an issue with GPT on sdb as it doesn't use the proper GUIDs for swap/... (Microsoft basic data).

BTW(2) your /boot/grub/device.map is swaping sda & sdb:
(hd0) /dev/sdb
(hd1) /dev/sda

Then, if you look at the popup menu, you'll see it's showing all mount points from fstab (swap being considered as such)


For the entry you're seeing, as you see in logs, it failed to identify one OS:* "could not recognise the distribution for  in "
Thus, it has no "root" entry, and thus the popup menu default to the first entry.

That's not a release blocker issue

This patch was not committed, should it be?
Comment 13 Thierry Vignaud 2015-05-21 10:41:12 CEST 
No, I've queued it for mga6 as it's a cosmetic.

(Tbe real issue being having not detected the right parameters for an other OS)
Comment 15 Samuel Verschelde 2015-06-05 14:42:47 CEST 
Removing FOR_ERRATA since it's a minor and specific issue.
