Description of problem: Recently installed Nvidia driver for video card : NVIDIA GeForce 8100 to GeForce 415: NVIDIA Corporation|GT200 [GeForce GTX 260] [DISPLAY_VGA] (vendor:10de device:05e2 subv:10de subd:0585) (rev: a1) Compiz activated too. This configuration needs "nokmsboot" kernel parameter to boot, so I added a line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" nokmsboot splash=verbose vga=795" to /etc/default/grub, and ran grub2.mkconfig. Works well, "nokmsboot" appears in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg, and computer boots without problems. But when a kernel update occurs, next boot fails with a message saying something like (sorry, didn't write the exact message) : "Video driver modified, reboot or continue" Rebooting gives nothing more Continuing finally boots, but staying in command line. Manual xorg start fails. Checking /boot/grub2/grub.cfg shows my GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT parameters disappeared from linux entries. Manually adding "nokmsboot" allows to boot without error. In fact, /etc/default/grub file seems recreated during update, and my GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line disappeared (but I changed GRUB_TIMEOUT to 30 too, and this has been kept ? ) My original /etc/default/grub : GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=gfxterm GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=false GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=n GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32 GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=Mageia GRUB_TIMEOUT=30 GRUB_THEME=/boot/grub2/themes/maggy/theme.txt GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" nokmsboot splash=verbose vga=795 After kernel update : GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=n GRUB_THEME=/boot/grub2/themes/maggy/theme.txt GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=false GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32 GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=gfxterm GRUB_TIMEOUT=30 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=Mageia This happened at least 2 times, last on jan 21.

Your original line seems to be missing a closing " - unless that was just a bad copy/paste? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" nokmsboot splash=verbose vga=795
Your're right : it's a copy/paste error, closing " is present. Anyway, removing it fails : # grub2-mkconfig /etc/default/grub: ligne 11: caractère de fin de fichier (EOF) prématuré lors de la recherche du « " » correspondant ( 'premature EOF char when searching matching « " »' )

Mass-reassigning all bugs with "kernel" in the Source RPM field that are assigned to tmb, to the kernel packagers group, because tmb is currently MIA.

This one has been fixed in cauldron (future mga6) where grub2 support has been enhanced quite a lot.
Source RPM: kernel-desktop-4.1.15-2.mga5-1-1.mga5.x86_64 ; nvidia340-kernel-4.1.15-desktop-2.mga5-340.93-5.mga5.nonfree.x86_64 => drakxtools, bootloader-utils
Thx, Thierry :-) @ Angelo CC'ing mageiatools group ml, but you're not a member of that list, yet https://ml.mageia.org/l/review/mageiatools So CC'ing you, too, in case work on manaboot already started.

Hi T ex78, Thank you for having taken the needed time to report this issue! We regret if this issue didn't get fixed in Mageia 5. Mageia 5 has officially reached its End of Life on December 31st, 2017 https://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/11/07/mageia-5-eol-postponed/ It only continued to get important security updates since then, but non-security bugs have no chance of still getting fixed. I understand from comment #5 that this issue doesn't exist in Mageia 6, so closing this report.
