If you try an NFS install in current cauldron it loads stage 2 but the initial GUI panel never appears. The screen goes black, you get the "Sending termination signals" messages, and the machine reboots before you can read much of anything. As no root partition has yet been assigned, no diagnostic files are left behind. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

Actually, if your press C^Q fast enough, you should get more info from other terms and even get the shell on tty2 in order to look at /tmp/ddebug.log (and copy it on USB)

Ah, magic :-) I'll try it. Will this interrupt the termination, or do I have to get it in before ? If the latter, I hope I get it in after the error and before termination.
Sorry, use C-s to freeze & C-q to unfreeze. This is per tty. So tty1 will be frozen but you can work with others tty. Remember to use pgup on tty in order to find any interesting error message before looking at tty[2-5] as "pageUp history" is lost on tty switch
ping?
This is a memory problem. VBox defaults to a 256MB memory allocation for a Mageia VM. If I use C-s to freeze the display at the point where the screen clears and the next thing expected is the first GUI panel, and then pgup, I can see a message saying "dmidecode: Unable to allocate memory" If I increase the memory allocation to 512MB, the error does not occur.
Closing as we don't realistically support 256Mb machines...
