Description of problem: Been running the alpha 2 since iso release, after the updates this morning(27/11/12). grub is in an endless loop after reboot. This is on a raid disk using dmraid. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Mageia3 Alpha 2. update grub i believe was .97 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install alpha2 on raid array (dmraid is used in my case.) 2. Allow updates. 3. Reboot I am not able to dig deeper as it is looping the search for grub stage1.5
Downloading alpha3 to install and see if the update breaks it again. I can also check the version number of the update and a previous bug reported(5558)

should be fixed with new rpm according to ennael but don't ask me how to update it :)
grub-0.97-36 has been uploaded this afternoon. grub-0.97-35 was the faulty one. Please test

Please advise on how to fix the faulty boot sector, as the rescue from isos is not working (corruption error). Thanks.
The boot sector is not broken, the stage2 is. You need to copy a stage2 to /boot/grub/ in your partition.

To fix it, you need: - boot your machine (using an iso for example), - mount your old partition (for example mount /dev/sda1 /mnt), - chroot in /mnt (with chroot /mnt/) - start the network, - urpmi grub-0.97-36.mga3.x86_64.rpm (after updating your sources). Thanks pterjan!

Fixed at my end. Did a fresh install, then applied updates, 97-36.mga3 was listed. Rebooted and worked fine. :)
