Description claire robinson 2012-02-16 14:33:36 CET
The "drakboot" program crashed. Drakbug-13.58 caught it.

I was trying to add a line to grub of mga 1 to boot mga 2 beta 1 which I've installed on the same disk and dual booting.

I added configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst as the image and sda7 as the root device.

Clicked finish and it crashed.

Backtrace was:
expand_symlinks: configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst is relative

This message is a reminder that Mageia 1 is nearing its end of life. 
In approximately 25 days from now, Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing 
updates for Mageia 1. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it 
remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '1'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version prior to Mageia 1's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not 
be able to fix it before Mageia 1 is end of life.  If you would still like to see 
this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, 
you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version 
of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
