Description Martin Volf 2016-04-02 20:52:07 CEST
Description of problem:
=======================
Installation, keyboard and mouse freezes when step 1 (choose language) is appeared.

I cannot debug an issue. I have tried to add these kernel parameters to GRUB2, but did not help:
video=vesa:off vga=normal nomodeset i915.modeset=0

Keys Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, Ctrl+Alt+Del, Ctrl+Alt+F1 upto Ctrl+Alt+F4 or Alt+F4 does nothing.

When installation works:
========================
When I do restart from MGA5_x64 and then boot the DVD MGA6dev1.

MGA5_liveDVD_x64 works well with UEFI.

Found more differences between MGA5-MGA6dev1:
=============================================
- MGA5: before GUI installation step 1 is appeared message (maybe this is something other): Ignoring BGRT: invalid status 0 (expected 1)
- MGA6dev1 does not show this message
- MGA6dev1 the booting is slower than with MGA5, but the speed is the same, when MGA6dev1 DVD is booted after restart from MGA5 system.

Comment 1 Marja Van Waes 2016-04-04 12:37:07 CEST
I vaguely remember that someone once said that if your keyboard is frozen during install, it could still be tried to login to the installer from another system.

However, I can't find any information on how to do that.

Please attach (not paste) the full output of "lspcidrake -v"
(eg the file file resulting from running "lspcidrake -v > /tmp/lspci.txt"

lspcidrake -v > /tmp/lspci.txt

@Marja: as I wrote, I cannot do anything during MGA6dev1 DVD/USB installation on the first GUI (to choose language) window.

@Thierry: please find an attached file lspci.txt

Thank you...

More info:
==========
I have tried to get pictures of the screen as the best as I could.
This are the logs before freezing of the real installation of MGA6dev1 from USB.
Sorry for the quality.
Hope it helps a little bit.

Comment 10 Thierry Vignaud 2016-04-04 23:57:22 CEST
Can you identify the usb devices we faile to read their modalias (/sys/bus/usb/device/3-1/3-1.[13]) ?

Could you:
1) start the installer in text mode (just type "linux text" at the CD prompt),
2) plug an USB key
3) once the language screen appear, go to tty2 (Alt+Ctrl+F2)
4) run the "bug" command
5) attach (not paste) the resulting report.bug file you'll find on your USB key

Also, does the keyboard works nicely in text mode?
(this way we can pinpoint to either a missing hid driver or to an issue with libinput/x11-driver-input-libinput)

Comment 11 Thierry Vignaud 2016-04-04 23:58:17 CEST
BTW what's the "OM" device listed by lspcidrake? Is it your keyboard?

I had to use this cmdline:
BOOT_IMAGE=/isolinux/x86_64/vmlinuz automatic=method:cdrom text noiswmd

to boot DVD in text mode.
Please, find an attached file "report.bug" below.

Yes, in text mode the keyboard works well, I can continue with the installation.

(In reply to Thierry Vignaud from comment #11)
> BTW what's the "OM" device listed by lspcidrake? Is it your keyboard?
usbhid: Elan Microelectronics Corp.|OM [Human Interface Device|Boot Interface Subclass|Mouse] (vendor:04f3 device:0235)
hid_generic: OM

That's a mouse "Genius dx-120". If I disconnect from USB and list it by lpcidrake again, it's gone.

Anyway, if I do installation without any USB device, still installation freezes immediately in graphic mode (GUI).

Thank you for your assist.

Hi,

The same issue here on a Sony Vaio E Series SVE1713G4EW notebook (Bios: InsydeH20 Setup Utility Rev. 3.7.). 

@ Martin: Thanks for finding out that it works on reboot!

Greetings,
Ulrich Beckmann
Comment 15 Thierry Vignaud 2016-06-20 15:54:36 CEST
Is it still valid?
Kernel & X.org has been updated so maybe it's OK now?
Comment 16 Rémi Verschelde 2016-06-20 15:57:34 CEST
Note: Please test the netinstall ISO to get the latest kernel and X.org changes. (I'll try to give it a try too on Optimus non-UEFI when I have some time)
Comment 17 Ulrich Beckmann 2016-06-22 13:57:48 CEST
I retested now Mageia-6-sta1-x86_64-DVD.iso from 06/20/16. It's ok, the issue does not occur any longer.

Btw. I have no nVidia graphics, its an AMD/ATI Thames, Radeon HD 7550M/7570M/7650M.

Best regards,
Ulrich

Sorry for the late reply.

I have tested MG6 sta1 (LiveDVD and DVD Plasma) on USB and it works well now! Tested on the same notebook with UEFI.

Thanks!
