Description claire robinson 2015-05-19 17:57:59 CEST

5 final round 2 LXDE install from DVD 32.

This is a regression from previous ISOs.

Installed without proprietary nvidia driver. On boot I'm now getting a message that it needs nokmsboot option or X might fail to start. That times out after a while and X indeed fails to start with the "Good Luck :)" message instead

Actually I *was* going to install with nouveau but *did* install with
proprietary nvidia340 in the end. Sorry for the confusion.

Comment 5 claire robinson 2015-05-19 19:54:51 CEST

I think is caused by the new installer screen with grub2. which allows you to set the default boot choice. The text box for kernel options only has "splash".

Nouveau boots correctly but I think this is a "red herring" and it's just the missing kernel options.

Comment 6 Thierry Vignaud 2015-05-19 23:14:57 CEST

which ones?

Comment 7 claire robinson 2015-05-20 00:14:50 CEST

It used to have splash quiet but it's complaining of needing nokmsboot too obviously.

Fixed in my local git.

For a release blocker, I'd prefer we keep it open until tested (actually this is what we usually do for any bug).

Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED
Resolution: FIXED => (none)

Comment 11 claire robinson 2015-05-20 12:09:48 CEST

Thanks Thierry, we can test with next ISO build.

_I_ tested it...

Comment 13 Samuel Verschelde 2015-05-20 12:24:49 CEST

I mean tested in the actual ISOs, I don't doubt you tested it, but here we have to be as cautious as for QA Updates. More cautious even. This means testing by someone else than the developer.

Hope you agree.

Thanks for reporting this Claire. Also on Gnome Live 64.

Confirmed fixed in classic installer with Anne's test iso.

Was the fix also applied to draklive-installer?

Comment 16 Thierry Vignaud 2015-05-20 15:37:36 CEST

Yes.
I'll commit and upload packages tonight

Re-Closing

Status: REOPENED => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Comment 19 Samuel Verschelde 2015-05-20 19:40:59 CEST

Re-reopening (just kidding, let's trust QA team to reopen if not fixed).

One day I'll propose to add a new status before RESOLVED FIXED, such as TESTING, that can be used to wait between commit/submit and actual tester confirmation.

Comment 21 bolak T 2015-06-22 01:08:40 CEST

I tried to boot my system from the final/released LiveCD

Mageia-5-LiveCD-KDE4-en-i586-CD.iso

and right at boot the kernel panic happenned with this message: 

"Kernel Panic (VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) "

I have never had this problem with the live CDs of Mageia 3 and 4 on the same 
system.

This means that this bug was not fixed for all the released ISOs.
