Description of problem: none of the options for installing grub (or LiLo) work. The install seems to run smoothly until bootloader install screen. I've tried all 5 options and none will install, with or without security password. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Grub 2 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot live dvd 2.install to disk 3.
We miss logs... Please retry the install up to that error then: - plug a USB key - go to tty2 (alt+ctrl+F2) - run the "bug" command - attach (not paste) the report.bug file you'll found on the USB key to this bug report. But not that lilo & grub won't work with new ext4 & xfs formats. This is why we offer grub2 by default

Hi Jeffrey, The above was asked because this bug had the installer component. However, as you can see here https://bugs.mageia.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Mageia that component is only used for traditonal installer bugs, that is, for non-Live installer problems. Please start the iso in Live mode and then redo the install up to the error, as asked. Then: go to a konsole or terminal type su then type journalctl -a > journalctl.txt and attach journalctl.txt to this bug report
