[Mageia-dev] No boot after installation

Fri Nov 18 13:44:33 CET 2011

+I have encountered this issue when I installed the released mageia. I think I had a similar issue with Ubuntu.
+No such issue with Fedora, Centos or Scientific Linux.
+
+I have 3 1TB sata hard disks
+
+The first disk has
+xosl boot loader
+Free Dos
+gentoo
+FC15
+
+The second disk has
+Mageia
+Scientific Linux
+Centos
+
+The third disk has eComStation 3.1 (OS/2 Warp 4.5)
+
+
+When I installed it it would give me a boot error. I found out later that grub was not installed properly.
+The hard disks are installed in the right order.
+I did notice that xosl sees the reverse order for the 2nd and 3rd disk. When going in fdisk the order is correct.
+
+I then booted mageia using grub in Scientific Linux. I installed grub and it worked after that. I did notice when I tell grub to look for the boot it wrongly identified the drive as being the first one when it is actually the second drive.
+
+I am puzzled because if there is indeed an error on what the bios returns Scientific Linux and Centos would have screwed up too.
