Moving over from Mandriva 2010.2 and onto a new HP Envy Phoenix PC.
I cannot boot directly from the hard drive. I have 2 1TB drives "A" has all the Windows stuff and "B" is all Linux. Both are GPT partitioned (because if the 2nd one is MBR partitioned the Windows Boot Manager under UEFI seems to get confused and won't boot anything). When I installed Mageia I used the 2nd drive to store the boot loader. I downloaded Super Grub2 and am able to locate, and boot from, the 2nd drive. That's a bit of a pain and I don't know if this is an issue with my BIOS, type of partitioning (GPT vs MBR) or a problem with Grub during the install. I did update Grub2 as soon as I was able to log in. I had also tried to install OpenMandriva earlier in the day and was having the same problem there except that I actually got a Grub2 fail message during the install. I was able to install Mandriva 2011 and it booted (or attempted to until it hit a panic and stopped). But, at least the loader was found by my PC.
Any assistance with this issue would be greatly appreciated!!
