Description claire robinson 2013-01-16 13:38:55 CET 
From summary really.

Once installed in a dual boot with Mageia 2, Mageia 3 no longer recognises the mageia 2 install as being mageia and just lists it as 'Linux sda1'.

It used to recognise it and list it as something like Mageia 2 (Official)

Not sure if this is a maybe a grub bug instead of installer so please assign as necessary.

Comment 5 Manuel Hiebel 2013-03-10 01:22:49 CET 
this is strange 

* current labels: linux linux-nonfb failsafe
* looking for configured grub on partitions sda5 sda7 sda8
* find_root_parts found sda5: Mageia (Official) for x86_64
* current labels: linux linux-nonfb failsafe Linux sda5

Comment 6 Manuel Hiebel 2013-03-10 01:51:26 CET 
side effect from rosa change import ?

http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/drakx/trunk/perl-install/bootloader.pm?r1=6627&r2=6628&

$e->{name} ||= "Linux $e->{bootpart}{device}"; 	versus 
$e->{name} = $e->{menuentry} || "Linux $e->{bootpart}{device}";
Comment 7 Manuel Hiebel 2013-03-10 02:31:27 CET 
confirmed that is works with the live 
(and indeed this menuentry var come only from grub2 which is not called in the suggest (useless))

Comment 8 Thierry Vignaud 2013-04-05 13:37:40 CEST 
Does it fixes it if you revert in /usr/lib/libDrakX/bootloader.pm
the line:
    $e->{name} = $e->{menuentry} || "Linux $e->{bootpart}{device}";
back to:
    $e->{name} ||= "Linux $e->{bootpart}{device}";
