Hello jggimi and IdOp,
Thanks you very much. This is very nice that you have done.
I add some précision :
-on the computer with DesktopBSD, the bootloader is XOSL (eXtended Operating System Loader), in a FAT32 partition.
-for the other computer, GRUB is the bootloader
On the two computer, there are Windows, Linux, xBSD.
On the first computer, the bootloader on the / of each OS.
-on the second computer, all OS, except Mandriva, has its bootloader on its /
Mandriva has GRUB on the MBR : /dev/sda, (hd0).
GRUB starts all OS except Mandriva (of course) by "chainloader +1".
One PC is manufactured in 2002-2003.
The other (the motherboard ~2007-2008), assembled by me.
On the two computers, the Unix like OS are installed on the second drive (PATA) :/dev/sdbx or /dev/hdbx, relative to kernel version of linux
-xBSD on primaries partitions
-on the extended partitions : Linux distributions.
The only cause possible troubleshooting what I think is : "partition table in not in sequential order", (here primaries partitions) at a moment. But i've deleted and recreated them.
the optical drives are on secondary ATA.
Now, I don't see causes for this problem
I thank youy again,
ahlsner
