Description of problem: Customized install of Classic DVD iso from USB drive booted under UEFI Only. The install completed without any problems. USB drive removed, reboot. The system hung after Loading initial ramdisk; would only proceed if the USB device was plugged in again within a 10 second timeout. Layout of system: hd0 = 512 GB ssd : GPT partitions 1 = /boot/EFI 2 = swap 3 = / [root@localhost grub2]# gdisk -l /dev/sda GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.10 Partition table scan: MBR: protective BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: present Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT. Disk /dev/sda: 1000215216 sectors, 476.9 GiB Logical sector size: 512 bytes Disk identifier (GUID): 817759E9-DAA1-4E14-AC2C-E24CA7D92CDC Partition table holds up to 128 entries First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 1000215182 Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries Total free space is 98925 sectors (48.3 MiB) Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name 1 2048 1050623 512.0 MiB 8300 2 982632448 1000118271 8.3 GiB 8300 3 1050624 982632447 468.1 GiB 8300 Note that gdisk reports all partitions as ext4 but at reinstall the partition table seems to be OK, i.e. Windows, ext4, swap. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Mageia 5 beta 3 How reproducible: Tried full installation five times - same behaviour Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Cauldron from EFI-prepared USB device under UEFI-only 2. Reboot 3. Wait Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 5906 [details] grub2 configuration file
Attachment 5906 mime type: application/octet-stream => text/plainCC: (none) => thierry.vignaud
check if /etc/fstab contains any reference to the install media
CC: (none) => tmb
That was the problem. Deleted the reference from fstab and no more problem. Bug closed. Thanks.
Yeah, so the installer trying to be helpful with adding windows partitions hurts us here as it sees the fat32 usb stick and adds it to fstab... That we need to fix
Well fs::mount_points::suggest_mount_points_always() do try to filter removable media. Can you attach your /root/drakx/report.bug.xz? I'm especially interested in the "win parts:" line

Created attachment 5918 [details] extract from /root/drakx/report.bug.xz
Attachment 5906 is obsolete: 0 => 1
Removed the grub.cfg attachment and added an extract from around the "win parts:" line. If you need the whole file let me know.
That affects Mageia4 x64 as well (EFI install from USB with classic DVD x64). An entry for the usb stick is added in /etc/fstab during installation.

Actually I think it's a side effect of bug #14435 which broke detecting USB devices *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 14435 ***
