[Mageia-dev] No boot after installation

Fri Nov 18 14:09:14 CET 2011

Hello,
+
+Which mageia did you install? mageia1(or mageia2 alfa?) and from what 
+installation medium? livecd/installDVD/netboot?
+
+the best way to give us opportunity is to file a bugreport at 
+http://bugs.mageia.org/ .
+
+furthermore, Scientific linux, does that use grub2 or grub1?
+
+where did you install the grub bootloader on during install? partition or 
+disk?
