Description of problem: I made a minimal install with CD boot-nonfree.iso (personal desktop, deselect all, with X server) Installation and configuration are made as usual After reboot I have a blank screen, without prompt. Impossible to open a console with Ctrl+Alt+Fx I restart it failsafe mode, connect as root. Execute startx => r600_cp: Failed to load firmware radeon/R600_rlc.bin Fatal error during GPU init NB: if I install a desktop such as LXQt, the reboot is correct. graphic card : onboard RS 780D [radeon 3300] Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
seems you didn't have nonfree enabled, so radeon-firmware was not installed.

Good evening, I valide systematically core, nonfree and tainted by install. I had already tried approximately 2 weeks ago and even this morning. I had already had a black screen, but I did not have time to make other investigations the first time.
I would again want to specify that I do not valid the recommended packages.
New test today new cd buned, local mirror updated this afternoon. Always a minimal installation, but with X server - without recommends: 658 packages. => with Grub screen, then blank screen - with recommends: 808 packages. => with Grub screen, then with plymouth, then with xdm ... Can this help?
Yes. firmware is not required, just recommended by kernel, b/c it's in another optional medium (nonfree). Can you attach your /root/drakx/report.bug.xz (in both cases?) Note that the previous one should have been backuped in /root/drakx/

I'm uploading a new installer. Can you try again once it reaches your favorite mirror? install/stage2/VERSION should contains 16.60 eg: http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/install/stage2/VERSION (but it's still the previous version here: 16.59)
Um, it's actually radeon-firmware that is missing, not kernel-firmware-nonfree

The functioning is completed. Thank you very much
