Description of problem:
Boot is failed if installer is the Mageia-5-alpha2-x86_64-DVD.iso

The computer claim:

You might want to save "/run/initram/rdsosreport.txt" to a USB stick or /boot after mounting them
and attach it to a bug report.

To get more debug information in the report, reboot with "rd.debug"
added to the kernel command line.

- If updates from the installer is done , command "exit"  will start the computer .

- A new e2fsprogs  1.42.12-2.mga5 come (2014/08/30).

# dracut --force
make a new initrd 
and then boot is good. ( solved for my computers )

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Mageia5 alpha2 with Mageia-5-alpha2-x86_64-DVD.iso

Assigning to you for now Thierry. IIUC the last revision that you pushed of e2fsprogs would have fixed the bug, but we'll have to make sure when testing it in Mageia 5 beta1's installer in a couple of weeks.

Comment 2 Thomas Backlund 2014-08-30 21:48:29 CEST

Or just test with boot.iso, as that will use latest stage2 + e2fsprogs

Comment 3 Thierry Vignaud 2014-08-30 21:56:52 CEST

that has nothing to do with installer but with missing versionated requires which have probably ended in:
- updated e2fsprog
- updated kernel
  => dracut generates an initrd with new e2fsprogs but old lib64ext2fs2
- updated lib64ext2fs2

Component: Installer => RPM Packages
Source RPM: e2fsprogs on installer => e2fsprogs
