Using x86_64 DVD ISO copied to USB stick. On my notebook, selecting "Install Mageia" at the boot menu brings up the usual "Loading Linux kernel" progress bar. After reaching 100%, there is a short pause, and then the machine reboots. I've used the same USB stick to install M4b1 on my desktop machine without a problem, and have also used it to instal previous Mageia releases on the notebook, so it seems unlikely this is a media problem. Notebook spec: Intel Core i7-3630QM Hybrid nVidia GT635M/Intel graphics Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
it's the livedvd ? if yes remove "splash silent" in the grub command, so you will see message, and maybe give more info
No, it's the standard installation DVD - Mageia-4-beta1-x86_64-DVD.iso. Removing "splash quiet" from the boot options gives no further information - after "Loading Linux kernel" is complete, the screen goes blank for one or two seconds, then the machine reboots. I've also reproduced the fault with a second USB stick, further ruling out a media problem (and before anyone asks, I've checked the md5sum of the downloaded ISO file).
Thomas, any idea?

probably a kernel issue... I seem to remeber some kernel hw issues where this happend.... what laptop is it ?

Not that anybody seems to care, but this is still broken in beta 2.
Still broken in final. Further experimentation shows: - installation from the Mageia-4-x86_64-DVD.iso fails as described above (both from USB stick and from DVD) - installation from the Mageia 4 boot.iso reboots after displaying "loading x86_64/all.rdz" - installation from the Mageia-3 boot.iso but manually pointed at a Mageia 4 FTP directory reboots after getting to 100% of the "Loading program into memory" progress bar - installation from the boot menu of Mageia-4-LiveDVD-GNOME-x86_64-DVD.iso fails as for the classical installer DVD - installation from the desktop of a live session started from the Mageia-4-LiveDVD-GNOME-x86_64-DVD.iso succeeds and results in a bootable system So clearly it is something specific to the installer, not a general kernel issue.

Summary: M4 beta 1 install fails (reboots machine) at first stage => Mageia 4 install fails (reboots machine) at first stage
Hi, I had experienced the same bug on a HP dc5850 SFF. I solved it by setting the storage option to Native mode IDE in the BIOS.

Martin, is this still valid in RC? Setting version to cauldron since we can't fix the installer in Mageia 4.

No, it's Mageia 4 only. I was leaving this bug open until Mageia 5 was released, in case new users stumble across it (as I did find a way to work round it). Fortunately it only seemed to affect a limited range of hardware - I've only seen a couple of users reporting this issue in the forums. I suggest closing as won't fix once Mageia-5 is out.
