The "draklive-install" program crashed. Drakbug-18.21 caught it. I've created a partition type "bios boot" but it was created as code 0x0 (not sure if it is correct). But when installing grub it was the error. grub2-install failed: Instalando para plataforma i386-pc. grub2-install: aviso: esta etiqueta de partición GPT no contiene ninguna Partición de Arranque BIOS; el embebido no será posible. grub2-install: aviso: El embebido no es posible. GRUB podrá ser instalado con esta configuración únicamente usando listas de bloques. No obstante, las listas de bloques son INSEGURAS y su uso está desaconsejado.. grub2-install: error: no se procederá con las listas de bloques. ...propagated at /usr/lib/libDrakX/any.pm line 269.

(In reply to Alejandro Vargas from comment #0) > I've created a partition type "bios boot" but it was created as code 0x0 > (not sure if it is correct). But when installing grub it was the error. Please say what sort of machine you have: BIOS/MBR, or EFI/GPT. Are you using an EFI system in so-called 'compatability mode'? This is never a good idea. What was your intention in creating this 'bios boot' partition? Please post the output from: # fdisk -l /dev/sda [or the ID of the disc in question] Also say what you were doing: installing Mageia (from the Classic installer)? Or updating Grub2 on an installed system? > grub2-install failed: Instalando para plataforma i386-pc. > grub2-install: aviso: esta etiqueta de partición GPT no contiene ninguna > Partición de Arranque BIOS; el embebido no será posible. > Kernel version = 5.1.14-desktop-1.mga7 > Distribution=Mageia release 7 (Official) for x86_64 > CPU=Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-6100 CPU @ 3.70GHz You appear to have a 64-bit system, yet the error messages are for 32-bit. You might be mixing MBR and GPT.

Does this bug still valid? Making GPT for bios boot is not recommended way. For bios boot on old systems, you should use dos type partition table, with a 1 MB BIOS_BOOT type partition at the very beginning of disk, also a /boot partition his recommended. For UEFI boot on 64 bits systems (not in compatibility mode), you should use GPT type partition table, with a /boot/EFI FAT32 partition. Since there is no further info, Closing it,
