So did the swith from LiLo to GRUB... The old GRUB version you still prefer is now called GRUB legacy, I guess you understand what that means: no further developement, a dead end ! GRUB2 is the way to go despite its far more complicated configuration, it has really nice modern features. And the decision to use it as the default bootloader for Mageia 3 was taken several months ago : https://wiki.mageia.org/en/FeatureMageia3_Review https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Feature:Grub2AsDefault
