Description macxi 2013-02-10 11:29:32 CET 
I was configuring the boot menu of Mageia 2 in MCC. At the time I saved the changes to the MBR, this error message appears: 


The "drakboot" program crashed. Drakbug-14.22.3 caught it.

Comment 1 macxi 2013-02-10 12:52:07 CET 
The boot menu was written on the root partition and there was another menu (another installation Mageia 2, 32bit) recorded in the MBR boot.

I did all the procedures for recording the Startup Menu of Mageia 2 (64bit) in MBR, but not recorded and gave this error message.

The theme I'm using is not the Oxigen-gtk, but is iaOra-Kde

Manuel Hiebel, 

When I was trying to answer your request, I saw that I had the wrong number a partition at the beginning of this text menu.ist:

"timeout 10
color black/cyan yellow/cyan
gfxmenu (hd0,6)/boot/gfxmenu
default 0"

Where was written (hd0.6) I corrected to (0.5) and I recorded properly boot menu Mageia 2 in MBR.

My apologies, it was my mistake.
This error message may be archived.
thank you
