Description Henry Ivy 2014-08-08 19:38:41 CEST
Description of problem: With the normal Mageia 4 DVD, the rescue boot starts ok, and gets in text mode to the "Welcome to Mageia Rescue (4) ..." window.

The install Mageia 4 boot dies with the following error messages:
    (EE) Fatal server error:
    (EE) AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0
    See the log file /var/log/Xorg.0.log 

The log file had these messages:
    (EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO succeeded but modified mode
    (EE) FBDEV(0): mode initialization failed

I had to wait one minute, for the graphical server to come up. (Long time to watch scrolling error message.)

The computer is built by Lenovo.
The model/serial number tag says the following,
Product Family: IdeaCentre K410
CPU: G640 2.8
RAM: 4G
Machine Type: 1168
MTM: 11681KU

My system does not have a separate graphics card. It appears to be an internal Intel gfx support.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Mageia 4


How reproducible: I do not know how to duplicate this, with out having a Lenovo system like mine.


Steps to Reproduce:  See above.


Workaround:  Wait one minute when booting the Mageia DVD normal boot.

Fix: ? Make the normal boot work more like the Rescue boot?

Could you attach your /root/drakx/report.bug.xz?
Or can you try mga 5 RC?

I tried Mageia 5 RC x86 64 DVD.  It worked fine on my system.
The md5 checksum was f29f810208def3fb3e360d64bb11072d  Mageia-5-RC-x86_64-DVD.iso
Comment 3 Thierry Vignaud 2015-05-01 07:39:55 CEST
I think that's because your card wasn't supported yet in mga4

The short version is, it is fixed.  You have my permission to close this bug.

The long version of the story is irrelevant, problematic, debatable, and left as an exercise for the reader.
