Could you try to retrieve debugging information when you encounter the above error, using this procedure? - plug a USB key - go to console (alt+ctrl+F2) - run the "bug" command - attach (do not paste) to this bug report the "report.bug" file you'll found on your USB key Assignee:

thierry.vignaud OK, see attached file. I also tried creating partitions using live system. Created 300 MB FAT32 and two more EXT4. Sadly, the installer did not use FAT32 as EFI partition nor allowed to create one. Still could not install Mageia 5. Created attachment 6564 [details]
Error log
I think that your ESP is not formatted. You didn't have one before (why???) then create one then go on without formatting it. How can your system boot in UEFI mode without an existing ESP??? Did you switch from legacy mode to UEFI in firmware? Keywords:

None of your existing Windows partitions was tagging as ESP according to fdisk -l output. If you create a new ESP, you could have been hit by fix for bug #15962 Created attachment 6565 [details]

Should be fixed once drakx installer stage2 v16.96 lands on your favourite mirror You can check stage2 version in install/stage2/VERSION eg: http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/install/stage2/VERSION Status:

My FAT32 300 MB partition created using external tools was formatted (as standard FAT32). All of this was in UEFI mode, I know I need ESP. It was clean disk ealier, and I tried to delete FAT32 partition it after hitting error and create ESP using installer - none of this worked. Will try with new drakx stage2 installer. It's working fine now. |
