I can't confirm is works fine (netinstall or coming beta3).

(and as default partition are in ext4 with acl)

What do you have for errors ?

Comment 2 Jari S 2013-03-20 15:38:06 CET

The actual problem seems to be that I had created btrfs partitions and btrfs does not support acl option. Selecting the acl for ext4 / partition puts the same option to all other partitions and therefore causing boot problem.

Comment 3 Jari S 2013-03-20 15:43:33 CET

Some more information now that I managed to boot again. The /etc/fstab does not contain acl in other that ext4 partitions, however dracut complains "acl not supported" during boot while trying to mount btrfs partitions. Maybe dracut tries to make some "intelligent" guesses causing this problem.

Comment 4 Jari S 2013-03-20 15:45:56 CET

If I boot to rescue mode, mount the /, edit /etc/fstab and remove the acl from ext4 partitions then Mageia 3b3 boots just fine.

Comment 5 Manuel Hiebel 2013-03-21 00:08:38 CET

in bug 9195 you can see that ext4 has acl as default enable, so, did you change something yourself ? again in my test, as default it works fine.

Comment 6 Jari S 2013-03-21 06:02:33 CET

I did not have acl enabled as default (custom partition path).

Comment 7 Samuel Verschelde 2015-05-02 18:58:00 CEST

Hi Jari. We couldn't reproduce your issue and Mageia 3 is not supported anymore. Could you tell us if it's still valid in Mageia 4 and/or Mageia 5 RC?
