Hello,
I'm using EasyBCD 2.2 latest.
I have two hard drives, the first for Windows 7 and second Mageia (a GNU/Linux distribution).
My intention is to use Windows boot manager (boot menu) to list Mageia as an option.
During Mageia's installation I placed the bootloader (GRUB) on sdb1 (/) (root partition).
In EasyBCD it is listed as Drive 1, Partition 1, Linux, so I added that.
Type was GRUB (Legacy).
So I rebooted and chose this option (Mageia) from Windows' boot menu and it ends up in a black screen with some text "GRUB" at the top left of the screen. It's not a GRUB prompt, just four characters that says GRUB.
And it freezes.
I retried several times, the same.
So I tried all other logically relevant options in EasyBCD:
Legacy + Use EasyBCD's copy of GRUB
GRUB 2 + Automatically locate and load
GRUB 2 + manual partition select
Legacy + Use EasyBCD's copy of GRUB gave me a series of text ended in Error 11.
Any GRUB 2 options gave a GRUB prompt (grub>)
I've been using EasyBCD in the past with practically no problem.
This time it's a change.
Please help.
