IINM, such problems are usually on the mirror, but I fail to see the problem with the mirror you used:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/mageia/distrib/cauldron/i586/media/tainted/release/media_info/

It couldn't be in the midst of syncing, either, because that was last done two days ago.

Adding the mirrors.kernel.org 32bit tainted repository with drakrpm-edit-media doesn't give an error, either.

Can you reproduce this problem in installer?

(btw, does this part from the "dig mirrors.kernel.org" output mean that mirror.kernel.org has two separate servers for mirroring:

  ;; ANSWER SECTION:
  mirrors.kernel.org.	600	IN	CNAME	mirrors.us.kernel.org.
  mirrors.us.kernel.org.	600	IN	A	149.20.37.36
  mirrors.us.kernel.org.	600	IN	A	198.145.20.143

If so, then I don't know whether I checked their same mirror as you used)

Yeah, and I have a set_mirrors script which automagically configures the media without having to run any gui media configuration tools which works without error if kernel.org is not in the mist of pulling updates from coffee.

I am pretty sure it is reproducible because I have tried the nonfree about 3 or 4 times in the past and I always get the failure twice then it proceeds ignoring   the second failure after I enable all the release media. I have always received the error and assumed incorrect out-of-box media selections were incorrect because it seems like half of the desired check boxes were not right for Cauldron and usually went back to netinstall-x86_64.iso

Not sure but I think every other attempt gets you the other mirror.

My pull_updates and install_updates scripts run urpmi.update -a and if success, runs urpmi  --download-all --auto --auto-update . More than a few times over the years I have had that fail one or the other on missing media and waiting for the next hour sync solves the problem when using Cauldron.

I am going to close this report. Just finished testing with the princeton mirror the code acted different for starters, but did not give a media failure message.
