That's weird, that's bug 17484 which got fixed 4 days ago with 
drakxtools-17.15-1.mga6

Or which version of drakxtools was used for the isos and for the used stage2?
I think at least drakx-installer-stage2-17.14-5.mga6 is needed.

I don't know how that can be seen, afaik the logs only show the stage2 version, but not stage2 release... Thierry will know.

or should stage2 match the drakxtool version... so be 17.15, too? No 17.15 stage2 was released
Comment 3 Dick Gevers 2016-01-20 17:28:33 CET 
Valid for 32 and 64 bit isos

Hardware: x86_64 => All

Comment 4 Thierry Vignaud 2016-01-21 13:48:51 CET 
Yep, I didn't upload a stage2.
I'll do a stage2 release tonight
