Can you provide the output of lspcidrake -v (if you have a working Mageia) or lspci -vvv?

Comment 7 Samuel Verschelde 2015-06-06 01:58:08 CEST

Does Mageia 5 RC (or final if you have access to QA ISOs or Mageia 5 has been released by the time you can test) work better?

the issue was recreated using the RC on 2015/05/22.  the RC was downloaded and used to get the documentation requested.

problem circumvented.  followed the procedure for "Possible boot failure from DVD with some Radeon hardware"  (which is to boot from usb instead) and I was able to install mageia 5

Closing as OLD because this bug saw no action since over a year ago.

Please reopen if it is still valid with Mageia6sta1 or newer
