Description of problem: Since final M7.0 updates requiring to restart the laptop (kernel or systemd) or the installation of M7.1, the subsequent reboot fails with "bootmgr missing" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Happened in cases described on laptop IBM Thinkpad R50e - Pentium M. Note that starting the installation USB and choosing "Rescue system - Install bootloader" does not cure the problem. I found the procedure from Gparted - Help to be effective: [live@localhost ~]$ mkdir /tmp/mag [live@localhost ~]$ cd /tmp/mag ....... [root@localhost ~]# mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/mag [root@localhost ~]# mount --bind /dev /tmp/mag/dev [root@localhost ~]# mount --bind /sys /tmp/mag/sys [root@localhost ~]# mount --bind /proc /tmp/mag/proc [root@localhost ~]# chroot /tmp/mag/ [root@localhost /]# grub2-install /dev/sda Installeren voor i386-pc-platform. Installatie is afgerond. Er werden geen fouten gerapporteerd. [root@localhost /]# exit exit If I read the messages of the "Rescue system - Install bootloader" correctly, this does almost the same, except the mounting of /proc. Attaching installation report. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Something wrong there Herman - that report.bug.xz shows a Mageia 6 install.

Must have mounted the wrong partition. Will replace it.
The whole drakx folder under root is missing. I'll redo the M7.1 installation.
Reinstalled M7.1 completely on same partition as I always used for M7 testing, and getting same at reboot "bootmgr is missing". I will reinstall M6 on the same disk but on its own partition and see what that gives.

I understand this happened on the ThinkPad R50e, that just died? (Yeah, that was sad news for me, too) If not: Can you please use a working partition or a Live medium to fetch /root/drakx/report.bug.xz from that install ? If so, then this report should probably be closed, because the laptop dying likely caused it.

You're right Marja, it was all a prelude to the demise of the laptop. I owe you my thanks for the use of it as long as it lasted.
