Comment 1 Stephane 2015-02-03 14:52:48 CET 
The error come from "EFI\BOOT\grub.cfg" in ISO, all entries have the same mistake :
"
menuentry 'Boot Mageia 5 (Cauldron) Live' {
        linux /boot/vmlinuz root=mgalive:LABEL=Mageia-5-KDE4-LiveDVD quiet rd.luks=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0
        initrd /boot/cdrom/inited.gz
}
"

On the initrd line replace 'inited.gz' --> "initrd /boot/cdrom/initrd.gz"

When I edit the line in grub menu and F10, the DVD boot correctly.

Please update "grub.cfg" file to solve the problem.

Well spotted Stephane, it seems to be a typo then.

Assigning to Thomas.
