Description of problem: Installing the current sta1 (Sun Jun 12 22:41:35 CEST 2016) and choosing custom partitioning, further progress is impossible with the message "You must have a boot BIOS partition" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sta1 How reproducible: All Steps to Reproduce: This happens on two laptops where I have multiple instances of OS's installed (and running well). 1. Acer D620 legacy BIOS, MBR disk with two working partitions (beside the swap), one for M5, one for M6 testing. Installing i586 iso. After the choices made in custom partitioning all further progress is blocked after above message appears. 2. Lenovo B50 with UEFI and GPT disk (as reported by the gdisk command). This disk has partitions for Windows 10 (as preinstalled) on this laptop) and I free'd space to add a Linux swap, three ext4 partitions for two M5 instances and another ext4 for M6. All instances boot impeccably. Installing x86-64 iso. Exactly the same happens: after custom partitioning I get blocked at the same message.

Hello, I had the same problem, Mageia-6-sta1-x86_64-DVD.iso (Jun 12) on real hw, with BIOS firmware and ms dos HDD. After installation using existing partitions, I got a Plasma DE with no panel, no menu, no icons nor widgets, it was impossible to add a panel, only widgets. No problem on UEFI/gpt
