Mageia forum

Hello again,

I just wonder, I had Ubuntu and Centos installed on my laptop and installed Mageia 32Bit, which runs wonderfull and at the lowest memory usage I have ever seen (LXDE)

However, Mageia boot loader did not add options for the other operating systems and everything Linux like:

Code: Select all

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

just don't work.

The Control Center boot menu doesn't do anything either and when I want to add Ubuntu manually, it ask me for an image which isn't shown, so that is a no go.

Help

Hello,

What about

Code: Select all

# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Please use code tags and post the command and the full output.

Bequimão

I get this for it: bash: grub2-mkconfig: command not found

How do I do code tags?

fixed the code thing thanks

Do you use grub legacy or grub2 on your Mageia installation?

For grub legacy, you can add other bootloaders via chainloading, see http://doc.mageia.org/mcc/5/en/content/drakboot.html
Select add new entry, then other OS (windows) and select the partition where the other bootloader is installed.
