Description Dave Hodgins 2012-12-12 04:47:23 CET 
When installing using the Mageia 3 beta 1 pre-release iso images,
selecting grub2 for the bootloader, the bootloader install fails with

* running: grub2-install /dev/sda with root /mnt
* program not found: grub2-install
* error: :  at /usr/lib/libDrakX/bootloader.pm line 1972.

While grub2 is in the media directory of the iso images, it is
not installed in the mdkinst.sqfs.

In fact it's much stranger than that. Just did the test here. grub2 package is installed and reboot is fine. grub2 is all configured and working.

Still we have that error message saying grub2 is not installed.
Comment 6 Manuel Hiebel 2012-12-14 16:09:10 CET 
indeed going back to the summary with grub2 selected and continue the install, then at first there is grub2

You need to select the MBR (eg: /dev/sda) and not your root partition (eg: /dev/sda2)

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Comment 9 Manuel Hiebel 2012-12-14 20:48:54 CET 
ah yes indeed (the other errors is also here)
