Description of problem:

Mageia Beta1 installer fail at boot loader stage: 64-bit from DVD

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Happens every time for me

Steps to Reproduce:
1. attempt to install Mageia Beta1 from DVD in 64 bit machine
2.
3.

hardware: HP ProBook 6555b AMD Phenom II N620 Dual-Core processor 64-bit

downloaded and checked the MD5 checksum OK. Burned install DVD.

I have removed the internal disk drive and connected a disk in an external USB enclosure. The install seems to work fine up to the boot loader stage.
(My aim is to make a bootable external USB disk for running Mageia.)
