Mageia forum

I have tested it twice and got the same result. The GRUB always damaged after the action "suspend to RAM". I couldn't get into GRUB. The only thing appear was "_" blinking. I have to reinstall GRUB from Live CD to fix this.

I'm using KDE. The "suspend to RAM" action was done from KDE. I'm using the latest kernel-netbook which is version 3.4.

The platform is ASUS Eee PC 1215B. AMD APU E350 Radeon HD 6310.

Sorry for my bad English.

can you boot cd into recovery mode and have a look at the state of menu.lst

i saw a similar issue recently where it was zeroed out.

regards peter

I haven't tested it yet but I don't think it was zeroed out. Because it was restored to its last 'workable' state by just running the following command:

Code: Select all

grub-install /dev/sda --root-directory=/media/mageia


/media/mageia is the root of my Mageia OS.

Sorry for my bad English.

The menu.lst definitely wasn't zeroed out. The GRUB just disappeared.

Let me explain the process. First, I closed my netbook lid or suspend to RAM via KDE. And then I rebooted the system and got "_" blinking on the left corner of my screen.

What should I do?

Mandriva 2011.0 have this issue too on on my netbook. I'll try to see whether this problem occurs on non-Mandriva based distro.

Edit: and no! fedora, mint too.
