Description bozonius 2013-04-21 06:17:42 CEST

Description of problem:
Install completes without incident, but installed system will not boot.  Momentarily get the splash graphics, but then returns to console mode with one or two kernel errors (but these look like the usual ones about the tsc timer, etc). After that, the system just hangs.  There is no access to a command console or the desktop after that.

Note that this is Mageia-3-RC-i586-DVD installed to a VirtualBox VM running the latest host software; never get far enough to check the guest additions.  Install of Mageia-2-i586-DVD works fine, however, using the exact same VM with no config changes.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Mageia-3-RC-i586-DVD

How reproducible:
Very.  I was able to twice.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install Mageia-3-RC-i586-DVD to VirtualBox 4.2.12 VM
2.  Choose updates or not; this made no difference
3.  Attempt to reboot into installed Mageia 3 system


Reproducible:

seems related to bug 9759, maybe you can try with changing to the vesa driver 
(and please don't use the "3" version yet)

Version: 3 => Cauldron

Didn't go back far enough in searches, or didn't use right keywords, so I accidentally logged this bug.
