Description Dick Gevers 2013-04-16 19:24:59 CEST

Description of problem:
Tried with 15/4/2013 iso Mageia-3-RC-i586-DVD. (Highly likely 64 bits is same, but that remains to be confirmed).

From boot menu choose Rescue system.

Result is that you see:
"Which system do you want to rescue" 

and then names the current Cauldron installed here and a previous install of 3RC, and says furthermore
"what is your choice....or C to abort".

But Crtl +C does not work, "C" does not work, I can only exit by shutting down the machine (turn off the power).



Reproducible:

I should have also written:
When choosing "Mount your partitions" it says "which system do you want to rescue.....".

Confirmed for 64 bit DVD

I think this might be keyboard layout Dick.

I find the same issue but after I went to console and 'loadkeys uk' (not sure how to get a list of what is available) and then trying again it now exits to a console root@rescue prompt.

Super that you found this. But the workaround should not be needed, it has always worked out of the box till now.

Comment 4 claire robinson 2013-04-19 16:05:28 CEST

It did show ^C even when it was failing.

Maybe a menu entry would be better instead eg:

1) Mageia (Cauldron) 3 .. etc
2) Mageia (Official) 2 .. etc
3) Quit to console
