the problem also occurs if the new M7 classical installer x86-64 .iso is placed on hdd and the non-free net-installer is used to initiate the install and utilize the on HDD .iso.

If the .iso is burnt to optical media, the install proceeds without the issue.

Likely a missing hid driver.
I've added quite a lot of them in drakx-installer-images-2.54
Could you try latest net install?
Eg: http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/install/images/Mageia-Cauldron-netinstall-x86_64.iso

thanks thierry, that works great

both from net-install from an on-line mirror
and from .iso placed on HDD

marking as fixed
