Description Barry McCabe 2012-05-17 19:19:14 CEST 
The "drakboot" program crashed. Drakbug-13.58 caught it.

Attempting to modify an option on the Set up boot system in grub. Even if I don't change anything after
I hit modify I get the error.

Backtrace was:
mkinitrd failed:
(mkinitrd -f (hd1,0)/boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-17-generic 3.0.0-17-generic) at /usr/lib/libDrakX/bootloader.pm line 124.
	...propagated at /usr/sbin/drakboot line 65.
standalone::bug_handler() called from /usr/sbin/drakboot:65

Kernel version = 2.6.38.8-desktop586-10.mga
Distribution=Mageia release 1 (Official) for i586
CPU=Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
Comment 1 Dave Hodgins 2012-05-17 21:20:17 CEST 
Is this under VirtualBox?  If so, try rebooting, and add the kernel
option "divider=10", when booting the system.

See bug 44.

This is not a Mageia 1 released or supported kernel...
