1) I installed using network install, using boot.nonfree on a USB stick. 2) During install while it was installing packages i removed it. 3) after having set root pwd etc it should install the boot loader and i got this message: * error: INTERNAL ERROR: unknown device sdb1 MDK::Common::Various::internal_error() called from /usr/lib/libDrakX/devices.pm:130 devices::entry() called from /usr/lib/libDrakX/devices.pm:145 devices::make() called from /usr/lib/libDrakX/fs/type.pm:256 fs::type::call_blkid() called from /usr/lib/libDrakX/fs/type.pm:264 fs::type::type_subpart_from_magic() called from /usr/lib/libDrakX/fs/type.pm:246 fs::type::fs_type_from_magic() called from /usr/lib/libDrakX/bootloader.pm:1165 bootloader::suggest() called from /usr/lib/libDrakX/any.pm:205 any::setupBootloaderBefore() called from /usr/lib/libDrakX/install/steps.pm:767 install::steps::setupBootloaderBefore() called from /usr/lib/libDrakX/install/steps_interactive.pm:1043 install::steps_interactive::setupBootloaderBefore() called from /usr/lib/libDrakX/install/install2.pm:111 install::install2::installStepsCall() called from /usr/lib/libDrakX/install/install2.pm:313 install::install2::setupBootloader() called from /usr/lib/libDrakX/install/install2.pm:805 (eval)() called from /usr/lib/libDrakX/install/install2.pm:804 install::install2::real_main() called from /usr/lib/libDrakX/install/install2.pm:789 install::install2::main() called from /usr/bin/runinstall2:30 I think it is a bug that it tries to do *anything* on sdb. - the network install boot device. Logically, i should be able to remove it anytime after it loaded, at least after it started stage2 ? I am positive i did not set a mount point for it during partitioning. md5sum of 64 bit boot.nonfree.iso = 0cc0244dfe5b740acf6b0ef3df23d12f drakX v 16.48 4) I executed "bug" and will attach the file to this bug. 5) I put in the USB stick and pressed the OK button on the dialog and it proceeded with the graphis driver install Reproducible: yes Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

After this I did annother install attempt and kept the stick plugged in, so i did not see this message. But other problem happened... So, booted on same usb stick again for yet another trial, and *now* the installer say the partition on sdb is to corrupted to be useable. Anyhow, it apparently booted on it, and i intend not to install on it... What the heck did it do to it and when? Logs on the install before when sdb was found corrupt, see https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12027#c7
Should be fixed by this morning installer (was probably bug #14435). For original report, well, removing the usb stick was a bad idea :-) Though ideally this should be made to work as it's no more needed.

Thanks. For removing usb after network installer booted i now made bug #15316
*** Bug 15316 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
It would have worked if you've removed it before the graphical installer starts (ie when stage1 is loaded and look for stage2). We could alter install::steps::setupBootloaderBefore() so that it refresh $all_hds but really there's more places where the installer isn't ready to cope with removed hds.
