Installing Mageia-5-alpha1-LiveDVD-KDE4-x86_64.iso to a BTRFS partition. I downloaded and installed grub2-efi before installing and received the error: "/usr/sbin/grub2-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `overlayfs'.". I continued the install and pointed the installer to my EFI partion on /dev/sda1. I got to the bootloader selection screen and I selected Graphical Grub 2 and the install failed. Here's the output after trying to install grub2-efi: -------------------------------------------------------- [root@localhost ~]# urpmi grub2-efi values on reference is experimental at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.18.1/urpm/main_loop.pm line 232. values on reference is experimental at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.18.1/urpm/main_loop.pm line 232. values on reference is experimental at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.18.1/urpm/main_loop.pm line 245. values on reference is experimental at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.18.1/urpm/main_loop.pm line 245.

You must use the mga4 experimental way so far: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/UEFI_how-to#TMB.27s_instructions
I think this one should be fixed by now with mga5 RC. But for "use free space" that needs rebuilding live with latest drakxtools

Or simply boot in live mode, add online medias, update drakxtools, and then start the install
