Please check whether this bug still exists in Mageia 6. If it does, then replace "(MGA5)" on the whiteboard with "(MGA6)" [or "(MGA6.1) if you still see this problem with a Mga6.1 iso that should be released soonish].

Changing the version of this report to cauldron, because installer bugs are always filed against cauldron, since we cannot fix already released ISOs.

Btw, you should no longer use Mageia 5 or 5.1 ISOs, because Mageia 5 has officially reached its End of Life on December 31st, 2017 https://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/11/07/mageia-5-eol-postponed/

Please, *if* you still see this issue with a Mageia 6 or later ISO, do also give more information about which _exact_ ISO you were using and which exact steps you took before hitting this error.

I have no clue whether you installed Mageia without any errors before seeing this error on reboot, or whether something entirely different happened.

However, *if* you no longer see this issue with a Mageia 6 or later ISO, then please close this bug report

(issue last seen was actually with Mageia 5.1)

Whiteboard: (MGA5) => (MGA5.1)

Bugzilla is really for reporting bugs, not for support requests.  Either your /etc/fstab or bootloader configuration is referring to the UUID of a partition that's not available.  It's up to you to figure out why.  If you need help, the discuss mailing list, forums, or IRC channels are some of the places where you can get support.
