The USB stick created with Mageia 5 LiveCD-KDE4-en-i586 and Isodumper (UEFI box not checked) isn't seen by the BIOS. I re-created the USB stick with the UEFI box checked. The BIOS can see it, but it isn't bootable, looping like the Mageia entry. So I can't give you the report. You can start the classical installer without actually performing the install. Just got to tty2, mount your / partition and copy your /root/drakx/report.bug.xz on a USB key Keywords:

The same bug is present in the live installer and in diskdrake on a fully updated Cauldron installation. It can be fixed by reverting drakx commit 1e4b61c23a... (display cosmetics when reading back GPT) - in particular the line
$_->{pt_type} = 0x0b if $_->{fs_type} eq 'vfat';CC:

mageia I see no trace of /dev/sda2 being mounted on /mnt/win. Also we don't use /mnt/win mount point in drakx... (eg your §dev/sda4 is mounted on /media/win_d) I guess you saw /media/win_c instead of /mnt/win?

(In reply to Thierry Vignaud from comment #6) > Ah that's interesting. > Can you test the attached patch? That fixes it in diskdrake and the live installer. It will take me a bit longer to test the classic installer (can't easily replace mdkinst.sqfs now we dd the iso rather than copy it to a FAT partition). You can put a patch.pl on a USB key & pass "patch" option when booting the CD See https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Drakx-installer_tips_and_tricks#Using_OEM_patch_in_the_tree_.26_drakx-in-chroot eg sg like: use partition::gpt; package partition::gpt; undef *read_one; *read_one = sub { # INSERT HERE THE FULL BODY OF THE PATCHED read_one() }; 1; commit fd0c659539609be48af980e6201c262bfcd9aa57

Yes, you are right it is /media/win_c For completeness I tested the patch in the classic installer and can confirm it fixes the bug there too.
