Because no one did the work. This would requires first to do a package ( we do have a old one in mandriva for starting, it may requires to clean the patches ), and then prepare a script to create the proper bootloader ( as grub 2 is now modular and we cannot and do not want to include all module, or the bootloader may be too big ). This also requires to touch to various stuff like drakboot and so on. That's not a trivial task. A bug report already have been opened, if you want to follow the progress : https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416 > In my opinion the compatibility with ubuntu's grub it's important, to give > the possibility to try easily what's this group it's doing with such big > efforts. Can you be more explicit about "lack of compatibility" ? AFAIK and at least on my laptop, grub 2 is perfectly able to boot a distribution that has no specific provision for it ( in my case, a fedora 14 ), provided you configure it correctly. And usually, for people who want to have multiple distributions, the best way is to setup a independent bootloader on the MBR, that in turn chainload various distribution bootloader. This way, you benefit from the integration of kernel and bootloader of every distribution, and you do not change anything once the distribution have been setup. -- Michael Scherer

That is correct but in this context you should also point out that Ubuntu is the only major distribution who switched to grub2. For Mageia as for the other major distributions the respective developpers/coordinators have decided to stay with grub, at least for the time being. -- wobo

That is something you should complain about to the Ubuntu folks, it's their grub that doesn't see Mageia. (Although I have to admit, it's the same the other way arround). Oliver

I am trying to install mageia on the same disk of ubuntu and I wonder why they have a different version on grub. I have seen version 1 in mageia and 2 in ubuntu. If i's the only option to configure manually the grub of ubuntu to point to the kernel of mageia, this it's very bad in my opinion. Thanks -- Bye Stblack
