Gdisk would normally number in disk order, but I'm not sure because I

You can easily check what partition ordering is with gdisk. (From
systemrescueCD if necessary.)
In any case, both grub and grub2 can get confused sometimes when
partition numbering changes.
It is only necessary to go into rescue mode on boot (from any Mageia
boot cd/dvd, or systemrescueCD), and invoke grub to find the
designated boot partition.
It gives you a grub prompt. grub has somewhat cryptic but useful help.
(This may have changed under grub2, but I don't think so.)
