sart fails, nokmsboot + nvidia, no Ctrl+F3

Hello,
I've installed M6 on a second HDD for dual booting with Kubuntu 18.10. Things was fine until I updated Kubuntu. It replaced the grub installed with M6.
Now when I launch Mageia, I raise the state where the system looks for peripherals. Then a message warns me to use "nokmsboot" option. After that, the system continue to start until a multiplicity of audit messages loop indefinitely. I cannot use Ctrl+F3 to log in command line terminal. I must turn off physically the computer.

But my grub file contains nokmsboot :
Code: Select all
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nokmsboot splash quiet noiswmd resume=UUID=5eba9fc3-c831-4e35-8b12-5dce444e5028 audit=0 vga=791"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=false
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=n
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=Mageia
GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y
GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=gfxterm
GRUB_THEME=/boot/grub2/themes/maggy/theme.txt
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5


My video card is : NVIDIA corporation GK208B [GeForce GT 730]. I read many messages but none answered my problem.
Could you help me ?

Problem sounds like the boot options now come from the grub entries from Kubuntu generated by os-prober, and they do not contain nokmsboot or anything other specific option from your Mageia installation.
You can try to add it to the Mageia entries in Kubuntu's grub configuration.
