Description of problem:

M4 Beta2 prerelease rounds 1 and 2:

Choosing the memtest boot function is not ok, it says "Press F1 for failsafe, press F2 for ...  SMP", but F1 reboots and F2 causes the machine to freeze and it needs to be reset

How reproducible: always



Reproducible:

Reaffecting then?

CC: (none) => thierry.vignaud
Component: Release (media or process) => RPM Packages
Source RPM: Mageia-4-beta2-x86_64-DVD.iso => memtest86+

Comment 3 Dick Gevers 2013-12-08 18:58:06 CET 
I should have written also: if you wait long enough and not choose F1 or F2 the machine also reboots.
Comment 4 Anne Nicolas 2013-12-15 15:13:57 CET 
Do you still have the same with latest isos?
Comment 5 Dick Gevers 2013-12-15 19:17:46 CET 
Sure. As per http://bn.parinux.org/p/mageia4beta2 line #287

Applies to 4RC first round classical 64-bit iso

Comment 9 Manuel Hiebel 2014-01-08 19:19:55 CET 
iso will need a rebuild to be fixed (as rpm is)
Comment 10 Anne Nicolas 2014-01-10 22:13:31 CET 
can you confirm this bug is fixed ?
Comment 11 Manuel Hiebel 2014-01-11 01:07:46 CET 
It looks not, I see same attachment as the blocker bugs https://bugs.mageia.org/attachment.cgi?id=4612

Could it be that last image from memtest is not in iso ?
(don't know how to check, md5 maybe ?)
Comment 12 Dick Gevers 2014-01-11 10:00:30 CET 
It is not fixed: F1 and escape still reboots, F2 still freezes the system: hard reset needed.
Comment 13 Anne Nicolas 2014-01-11 14:30:48 CET 
my bad. Integration of new isolinux is not all automatized for now so it needs some more manual steps and memtest was not updated in isos.  added in script so that it can be done for next one.
Comment 14 Dick Gevers 2014-01-12 11:09:55 CET 
Yes with current round of iso's it is fixed.
