Description Martin Whitaker 2017-07-15 18:22:48 CEST 
If a system is booted without the nokmsboot option, but the selected video driver needs that option, or vice versa, service_hardrake attempts to fix the problem by updating the bootloader configuration (using Xconfig::various::setup_kms()) and rebooting. But Xconfig::various::setup_kms() does not work when using grub2.

commit 6fb73fba36f9fcf88251f3bd3ad8ee67950c8541
Author: Martin Whitaker <mageia@...>
Date:   Sun Jul 23 16:18:49 2017 +0100

    Combine bootloader perImageAppend and default_append keys.
    
    This allows changes to the append options to propagate to the grub2
    configuration file, thus fixing mga#21263 and mga#21250.

Comment 3 Mauricio Andrés Bustamante Viveros 2018-05-31 08:02:46 CEST 
Tested this using the mga6 VM
GRUB2 in my VM, did not have the nokmsboot (defaults to mageia install)
Always the bootsplash was gray with three question marks (?)
Reconfigured the bootloader (testing the vga= option from other bug) and added the nokmsboot to the end of the append line
Rebooted without issues but the bootsplash (that never was shown) this tiem worked

Rebooted the VM and the nokmsboot option persists between reboots
