Description Dick Gevers 2011-06-12 10:37:18 CEST 
Description of problem:

info grub says in chaper 3.4:

 $ cp /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/stage2_eltorito iso/boot/grub

However, there is only the file 'stage2_eltorito' in the directory 
/lib/grub/<arch>-mageia. 

So, if Mageia changes the install path of grub as against the default path according to info grub, it should also patch the info file accordingly, so
the information provided is correct when applied on Mageia.

Comment 2 Marja Van Waes 2011-10-20 12:56:06 CEST 
I confirm what Dick says:

[root@DenkBlok2 marja]# locate eltorito
/lib/grub/x86_64-mageia/stage2_eltorito
[root@DenkBlok2 

and in # info grub: 3.4 Making a GRUB bootable CD-ROM:


 Copy the file `stage2_eltorito':

     $ cp /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/stage2_eltorito iso/boot/grub


Waiting for a grub-maintainer to assign to

cc'ing the committers of grub

(Although I prefer seeing them get grub2 in cauldron instead of fixing this ;) )

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

Package grub is unchanged, so valid for 2 and Cauldron.

Assigning to all packagers collectively since there's no registered maintainer for the grub package.
