Hi Jüri,

Thx for the bug report.

This used to happen in EFI-installs when we just started supporting EFI.

Were you doing an EFI-install or a legacy (BIOS-mode) install?


Since you tried, a lot changed in drakx-installer-stage2
Current version is  drakx-installer-stage2-17.18.1-2.mga6

Could you please try whether it works better, now?
If it's not better, then please attach 

     /root/drakx/report.bug.xz 

from the new install to this bug report.

However, if you cannot get past the point where X crashed before, then please do:

alt+ctrl+F2 , mount a USB-key as explained here
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Triage_guide#Traditional_installer 
and copy the two following files

/tmp/ddebug.log
/tmp/stage1.log

to the USB-key and then attach those files to this bug report.

Of course, please close this report as fixed if the bug is gone ;-)

Thanks :-)

Hi Marja,

Thanks for reminding me about this bug.
It's a BIOS based system.
Tried to test with the latest boot.iso and boot-nonfree.iso images dated from February 14th, but they just did not boot. Got only:
ISOLINUX 6.03 Mageia EHDD Copyright (C) 1994-2014 H. Peter Anvin et al
and the blinking cursor below that line...

Found an older boot-nonfree.iso downloaded in October 2015 and with that I was able to boot and after selecting the mirror, the installer started directly to installation language selection screen - so I guess this bug seems to be fixed...

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