bug log

Took a little to run bug for this report, sorry about that. As this is a VM, I can't do pass-through USB, and there was no HDD being detected this had me stumped as to how to get the log file off the system. Not had to use a floppy disk in many years, glad we still have virtual floppy disks though...

Hm, I seem to remember some hyperv issues reported on lkml or xorg list a while back, I'll check if I can find it...

and I could try to start up hyperv on my Win10 work computer to reproduce

Any progress Thomas?

Mass-reassigning all bugs with "kernel" in the Source RPM field that are assigned to tmb, to the kernel packagers group, because tmb is currently MIA.

I have the same issue when installing from Mageia-6-i586-DVD.iso into Hyper-V.
Parameters of the VM:
- 32 bit
- 4 GB of Ram
- 130 GB fresh VHD
- DVD-ROM (using the above mentioned ISO)
- Host OS: Windows 10 Enterprise October 2018 with Hyper-V feature enabled.

Comment 11 Thierry Vignaud 2018-12-29 18:09:58 CET
Note to myself: we should log both Xorg.log when first driver (vesa) failed
So vesa failed to load, attachment #7429 [details] showing:
"Vesa: Ignoring device with a bound kernel driver"

Then we try to fallback to fbdev which fails with:
"(EE) Unable to find a valid framebuffer device"

Comment 12 Thierry Vignaud 2018-12-29 18:18:17 CET
I wonder if we shouldn't try to remove hyperv_fb from drakx-installer-images...
WDYT Thomas?
Comment 13 Thomas Backlund 2018-12-29 22:50:38 CET
Possibly...

I'll try to test it under hyperv
