Only error message I recall is about vga= from Grub2 before first
kernel/init messages appear.
I was referring to re-testing the use of grub2-menulst2cfg again, since
it works perfectly here.
If you truly get errors from the grub.cfg produced by it then I would
like to report this upstream. I suspect there is something slightly
unusual in your menu.lst that it can't handle, so we will need both
menu.lst and the output .cfg, plus any error messages that may be useful.
First I did urpmi --auto-update, which raised grub2 from -16 to -17. The
new grub.cfg generated by grub2-menulst2cfg is identical to the last one
it made: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Mdv/grub.cfg.05-cldrn-gx27b.txt
The two links above are unchanged.
Selecting the first stanza, as before, causes:
"...

...
udevd[99]: could not find module by name='e1000'

The root device is in fact /dev/by-id-yada-part22.
Since your comments earlier I have decided to split out the theme into a
separate package, so that a minimal installation using grub2 will not
pull in the font, image etc.
I have pushed a new version that Suggests: os-prober in the meantime.
urpme os-prober didn't try to remove grub2 this time. :-)
So, in future an install of grub2 with --no-suggests will be without a
theme or os-prober, and perform as per the modifications I suggested
above.
Thanks for your constructive comments Felix,
:-)
Hi Felix,
The new grub2 package is pushed, with the theme split out from the main
package which is a Suggest like os-prober.
Please remove the commented THEME line in your /etc/default/grub before
updating, as this is now handled by filetriggers and will possibly upset
things - I had not considered that possibility (commented line) and may
need to look again at how that is handled.
Please see the updated README.Mageia in the package.
I will now hopefully have time to report your grub2-menulst2cfg issue ;)
Barry
