So you never reached the graphical installer (stage2) but were left with stage1?
Can you attach screen-shots of the screen?
- one from the error,
- one after typing alt + ctrl + F3
- one after typing alt + ctrl + F4

Thanks

'Needinfo' was fulfilled.

Comment 7 Thierry Vignaud 2014-12-04 11:23:57 CET

We could ignore modules loading failures for hyper-v in modules.pm:
http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/drakx/tree/perl-install/modules.pm

  load('hv_vmbus');
=> 
   eval { load('hv_vmbus') };

Version: 4 => Cauldron

    do not load hyper-v modules (mga#14117)
    
    this is already done by udev in stage1
