Mageia forum

The order of the kernels has been changed. Boot Mageia 5 used to be at top of the screen.
I had not booted the system for while and had not noticed it.
This is how it looks on the grub menu:

Code: Select all

Boot Mageia  (safe mode)
desktop 4.1.15-2.mga5)
Boot Mageia5
desktop 4.4.13-1.mga5
desktop 4.4.16-1.mga5


This is the MCC

Code: Select all

 linux-nonfb (/boot/vmlinuz)
 failsafe (/boot/vmlinuz)
 desktop 4.1.15-2.mga5 (/boot/vmlinuz-4.1.15-desktop-2.mga5)
*linux (boot/vmlinuz)
 desktop 4.4.13-1.mga5 (/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.13-desktop-1.mga5)
 desktop 4.4.16-1.mga5 (/boot/vmlinuz)-4.4.16-desktop-1.mga5)


I Think the failsafe one was down further.
cheers.

have you tried

Code: Select all

# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/menu.lst

or

Code: Select all

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

First command is for grub-legacy and the latter for grub 2.

If unsure which grub version you're on

Code: Select all

$ grub-install -v

or

Code: Select all

$ grub-install -V

Former on grub-legacy and latter for grub 2.

ps: grub 1.9x is grub 2 and grub 0.9x is grub-legacy

There is no grub-mkconfig.

Code: Select all

whereis grub-mkconfig
grub-mkconfig:

urpmq --fuzzy grub-mkconfig
No package named grub-mkconfig


I think it is grub legacy.

cheers

have you tried

Code: Select all

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

Should be

Code: Select all

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

for grub 2. Sorry (I always missed this in Mageia. Other distro commands use only grub-mkconfig, regardless grub or grub 2).

I think it is grub legacy.

"grub-mkconfig" is not a package. It is a command. packages are 'grub' and grub2'
But since command grub-mkconfig won't work, it should be grub 2. Repeat - use "# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg"
Package grub2 or grub is always installed by default in Mageia.

don't worry order of the kernel is not important as long as it boot

important is one kernel is selected but does not matter which
