Available Bootloaders +

+ + +

Grub2 +

+ + +

Grub2 on Legacy MBR/GPT systems

+ +
GRUB2 (with or without graphical menu) will be used exclusively as the + bootloader for a Legacy/MBR or Legacy/GPT system. +
+ +
+ +
By default, a new bootloader will be written into either the MBR (Master + Boot Record) of your first hard drive or in the BIOS boot partition. +
+ +

+ +

Grub2-efi on UEFI systems

+ +
GRUB2-efi or rEFInd may be used as the bootloader for a UEFI system.
+ +
+ +
By default, a new bootloader (Grub2-efi) will be written into the ESP (EFI + System Partition). +
+ +
If there are already UEFI-based operating systems installed on your computer + (Windows 8 for example), the Mageia installer will detect the existing ESP + created by Windows and add grub2-efi to it. If no ESP exists, then one will + be created. Although it is possible to have several ESPs, only one is + required, whatever the number of operating systems you have. +
+ +

+ +

rEFInd +

+ + +

rEFInd on UEFI systems

+ +
rEFInd has a nice graphical set of options, and can auto-detect installed + EFI bootloaders. See: http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/ +
+ +

+ +

+ + + + + + + + +


	+ + Please note that in order to be able to use the `rEFInd` + option, an installed EFI System Partition must match your system + architecture: if you have a 32bit EFI System Partition installed on a 64bit + machine for instance, then the rEFInd option will not be displayed/available + to you. + + +

+ +

Bootloader Setup +

+ + +

הגדרות עיקריות של מנהל האתחול +

+ + + +

+ +
Bootloader to use
+ +
+
- + +
  GRUB2 (with either a graphical or a text menu), + can be chosen for both Legacy MBR/BIOS systems and + UEFI systems. +
  + +
- + +
  rEFInd (with a graphical menu) is an alternative + option solely for use with UEFI systems. +
  + +
+
+ +

+ +

Boot device

+ +

+ + + + + + + + +


	+ + Don't change this unless you really know what you are doing. + +

+ +

+ + + + + + + + +


	+ + There is no option to write GRUB to the boot sector of a partition (e.g: + `sda1`), as this method is considered unreliable. + + +

+ +

When using UEFI mode, then the Boot device will be + listed as EFI System Partition. +

+ +

+ +
Delay before booting the default image
+ +
This text box lets you set a delay, in seconds, before the default operating + system is started up. +
+ +
+ +
Security
+ +
This allows you to set a password for the bootloader. This means a username + and password will be required when booting in order to select a booting + entry or change settings. This is optional, and most people are not likely + to have a need for it. The username is root and the + password is the one chosen hereafter. +
+ +
+ +
סיסמה
+ +
Choose a password for the bootloader (optional)
+ +
+ +
Password (again)
+ +
Retype the password and DrakX will check that it matches with the one set + above +
+ +

+ +

Advanced

+ +

+ +
Enable ACPI
+ +
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is a standard for power + management. It can save energy by stopping unused devices. Deselecting it + could be useful if, for example, your computer does not support ACPI or if + you think the ACPI implementation might cause some problems (for instance + random reboots or system lockups). +
+ +
+ +
Enable SMP
+ +
This option enables/disables symmetric multiprocessing for multi-core + processors +
+ +
+ +
Enable APIC
+ +
Enabling this gives the operating system access to the Advanced Programmable + Interrupt Controller. APIC devices permit more complex priority models, and + Advanced IRQ (Interrupt Request) management. +
+ +
+ +
Enable Local APIC
+ +
Here you can set Local APIC, which manages all external interrupts for a + specific processor in an SMP system +
+ +

If, in the previous section you selected rEFInd as the + bootloader to use, you would then be presented with the options shown in the + screenshot directly below. Otherwise, please instead move on to the + subsequent screenshot for your options. +

+ + +

Your rEFInd configuration options:

+ +

+ +
Install or update rEFInd in the EFI system + partition.
+ +
+ +
Install in /EFI/BOOT.
+ +
This option installs the bootloader in the /EFI/BOOT directory of the ESP + (EFI System Partition). This can be useful when: +
+ +
(a) Installing onto a removable drive (e.g. a USB stick) that can be removed + and plugged into a different machine. If the bootloader is stored in + /EFI/BOOT, UEFI BIOS's will detect it and allow you to boot from that drive. +
+ +
(b) As a workaround where, due to a buggy UEFI BIOS, the newly written + bootloader for Mageia will not be recognized at end of the installation. +
+ +

+ +

If you did not select rEFInd as the bootloader to use in the previous + section, then your bootloader configuration options are shown below: +

+ + +

+ +
Default
+ +
The operating system to be started up by default.
+ +
+ +
Append
+ +
This option lets you pass information to the kernel or tell the kernel to + give you more information as it boots. +
+ +
+ +
Probe foreign OS
+ +
If you already have other operating systems installed, Mageia attempts to + add them to your new Mageia boot menu. If you don't want this behaviour, + then untick the Probe Foreign OS option. +
+ +
+ +
Install in /EFI/BOOT. (Note: this menu + option only becomes available where the installer detects that a machine is + in UEFI mode). +
+ +
This option installs the bootloader in the /EFI/BOOT directory of the ESP + (EFI System Partition). This can be useful when: +
+ +
(a) Installing onto a removable drive (e.g. a USB stick) that can be removed + and plugged into a different machine. If the bootloader is stored in + /EFI/BOOT, UEFI BIOS's will detect it and allow you to boot from that drive. +
+ +
(b) As a workaround where, due to a buggy UEFI BIOS, the newly written + bootloader for Mageia will not be recognized at end of the installation. +
+ +

+ +

Advanced

+ + +

+ +
Video mode
+ +
This sets the screen size and colour depth to be used by the boot menu. If + you click the down-triangle you will be offered other size and colour depth + options. +
+ +

+ +

Do not touch ESP or MBR

+ +

Select this option if you don't want a bootable Mageia, but would rather + chain-load it from another OS. You will get a warning that the bootloader is + missing. Click Ok only if you are sure you + understand the implications, and wish to proceed. +

+ +

+ + + + + + + + +


	+ + Chain-loading via legacy bootloaders (GRUB Legacy and LiLo) is no longer + supported by Mageia as it is likely to fail when attempting to boot this + resulting installation of Mageia. If you use anything other than GRUB2 or + rEFInd for this purpose, then you do so at your own risk! + + +

+ +

+ + +

+ +

+ + +

Using an existing bootloader +

+ + +

The exact procedure for adding Mageia to an existing bootloader is beyond + the scope of this documentation. However, in most cases it will involve + running the relevant bootloader installation program, which should detect + Mageia and automatically add an entry for it in the bootloader menu. See the + documentation for the relevant operating system. +

+ +

התקנה ללא מנהל אתחול +

+ + +

While you can opt to install Mageia without a bootloader (see section 2.1 + Advanced), this is not recommended unless you absolutely know what you are + doing, as without some form of bootloader your operating system will be + unable to start. +

+ +

Add or Modify a Boot Menu Entry +

+ + + + + +

To do this you need to manually edit /boot/grub2/custom.cfg or use the + software grub-customizer tool instead + (available in the Mageia repositories). +

+ + +
