Description of problem: I am using an Acer Aspire 5741-5698 to test Mageia. My Ethernet adapter is a NetLink BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe card. When I boot the computer using a disk burned with the boot.iso image, my Ethernet adapter is not found. The message reads something like "No network adapter found ..." Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Burn boot.iso image to a disk 2. Boot computer with a NIC connected to PCIe bus using disk burned from boot.iso image. 3. Note: Computer must not have a 10/100 NIC connected to a PCI bus, or the 10/100 NIC will be found.
What's the output of "lspcidrake -v|grep -i net" ?

The output of "lspcidrake -v|grep -i net" is: wl : Broadcom Corporation|BCM43225 802.11b/g/n [NETWORK_OTHER] (vendor:14e4 device:4357 subv:105b subd:e021) (rev: 01) tg3 : Broadcom Corporation|NetLink BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe [NETWORK_ETHERNET] (vendor:14e4 device:1692 subv:1025 subd:036d) (rev: 01) HTH
unrelated but the wifi should be using brcm80211 and the ethernet should be using brcm80211 both tg3 and its firmware are included in stage1. For the record, you got this error at the stage1 step (the text step that will load the graphical installer)? Can you attach drakx log? should be /tmp/stage1.log (to copy to eg some usb key)
Look for /tmp/ddebug.log & /tmp/syslog The best would be to attach a compressed tarball of them

Created attachment 482 [details] compressed tar with stage1.log and syslog files I have attached the stage1.log file and the syslog file from a boot.iso session on my laptop. HTH,
Humm, module was properly loaded though

So do you have any idea why my Ethernet adapter was not "found"? I was able to download the 64 bit DVD image, and complete the installation using it. After first reboot, the Ethernet adapter was found correctly. I remain completely puzzled ...
Both boot.iso & the DVD iso were for 64bit?
Ys, both the boot.iso image and the install DVD were for my system powered by an AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ with 4GB DDR2 RAM I hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional information

BTW, could you attach a screenshot or photo of the screen when the error happen? I think there're multiple issues here: 1) we lack some ldetect-lst files in initrd: /usr/share/ldetect-lst/dkms-modules.alias 2) we lack dkms drivers - when building boot.iso, we should include drivers from free kmod-* for storage (none) - when building boot-nonfree.iso, we should include all drivers from kmod-* regarding storage. for now, only such as wl.ko from broadcom-wl-kernel-3.2.2-desktop-1.mga2 3) we should try to warn about unavailable non-free drivers in stage1 when booting boot.iso instead of boot-nonfree.iso points #2 & #3 are pretty straighforward to do. Do you agree Thomas?

Works here though I don't have the HW to test. I will release this tonight.

You can now try boot-nonfree.iso from ftp://ftp.linuxcabal.org/pub/mirrors/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/install/images/ which is up to date
