After installing Magia 9 and restarts the computer, GRUB only shows the
Mageia distribution is available. The other two distributions installed
on the same computer do not appear.

I use the Legacy system at BIOS.

Mageia 9 is only an alpha, and problems can be expected. If Legacy GRUB
is even available, don't use it; use Grub2. Grub2 has a thing called
os-prober, which looks for other distros, so it needs to be active. In
/etc/default/grub, I have a line:

GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false

If that is set to TRUE, it may be the cause of your problem, but I doubt
it; it never is. File bug reports.

HTH,

Doug.

I found out what was wrong. Mageia 9 was installed on a GPT partitioned
disk. I erased the entire disk and partitioned it MSDOS style.

How unfortunate. I partition all my drives as GPT.

That allows me to Partition Label and Name all partitions.

I then use the Name to mount everything and can re-format and move partitions
around without having to modify /etc/fstab.

$ cat /etc/fstab
LABEL=cauldron / ext4 relatime,acl 1 1
LABEL=accounts /accounts ext4 relatime,acl 1 2
LABEL=BOOT_EFI /boot/EFI vfat iocharset=utf8,umask=000 1 2
LABEL=local /local ext4 relatime,acl 1 2
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
LABEL=spare /spare ext4 relatime,acl 1 2
PARTLABEL=swap swap swap defaults,nofail 0 0
<snip>

Using Partition Label and Name also makes it easy for scripting disk work and
to see/find where everything is located.

$ lsblk -o NAME,TYPE,FSTYPE,MOUNTPOINT,SIZE,FSAVAIL,FSUSED,LABEL,PARTLABEL
NAME TYPE FSTYPE MOUNTPOINT SIZE FSAVAIL FSUSED LABEL PARTLABEL

That, in itself is a bug and a serious one.

GPT partitions are used more and more these days so it has to work with it.
