parameters
Mageia 3 grub2 default boot parameters as follows

Code: Select all

linux   /boot/vmlinuz-desktop root=UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ro  splash

It should be

Code: Select all

linux /boot/vmlinuz  BOOT_IMAGE=linux root=UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx nokmsboot splash quiet ro vga=788

Hope we can have the right appends when final release comes out.


install to sda not sdax
as noted in errata and some posts here, the default should always be to sda and never sdax
ps: if users want to 'set' to sdax (but I don't see why anyone wants to do this but I do ), they can always use --force after mageia is installed.

Thanks/Congratulations for nice work in Mageia 3.
ps:
anyway we can use dkms and modeset in the kernel (in initramfs) so we do not need nokmsboot to boot?
vga=xxx should be deprecated, but seems to be needed for Mageia (probably due to nokmsboot?) for graphics
bootloader is in /grub2 and not /grub ?
"grub-install -v" gives (GNU GRUB 0.97)?

vga=xxx should be deprecated

use

Code: Select all

set gfxpayload=800x600
gfxmode=800x600

ps: I don't use graphical boots and without splash and quiet.
