Description of problem: M5RC i586 install from boot.iso 04/02/15 20:46 MD5SUM: 050b61aa950b06ae3c2c98dee8457cc0 I've installed this three times. Twice in Vbox and once on real hardware. All three resulted in an unbootable install. It never even got started. The computer saw nothing to boot to. On Vbox it went back to the boot.iso file and started all over thinking there was nothing on the drive. I selected GRUB2. In Vbox, GRUB2: M5RC i585 install from boot.iso 04/07/15 00:04 MD5SUM: 5bdb33868c9b2a306a8f50bd1b701f7c generates an unbootable install M5RC x86_64 install from boot.iso 04/07/15 00:04 MD5SUM: 0137cc5b500286e7426334a453f026e3 generates an unbootable install Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

Just tried with boot-nonfree iso (32bits) from 2015-04-07 19:51 and used stage2 v. 16.79 install (choosing grub2 as bootloader) went fine and I had no problems booting into Mageia.

Are you using the on-line repo or a local repo. Mine is: 192.168.1.2://~mageia/repo/distrib/5/i586

In stage1 I chose to use hard disk, then selected the USB drive, then set the path, for me that was: mageia/distrib/cauldron/i586 I did not try "5" instead of "cauldron"...... I had thought that should work, because the "5" directory links to "cauldron", but in Monday's meeting I understood (or misunderstood?) from tmb that that wouldn't work, yet.
William, I understand the problem is not getting installer to run and finish, but booting into the just installed system. Is that correct? If so, and if the problem persists, then please attach /drakx/report.bug.xz from your last install. (Using "5" was OK, if it hadn't, you wouldn't have been able to install!)
oops s!/drakx!/root/drakx!
