I have tried with Mageia-6-rc-x86_64-DVD and the live plasma DVD, both downloaded with qbittorrent, both md5sum verified, both burned to an ADATA 8GB usb key with IsoDumper, which verifies the burn, in MGA 5 (two separate burns, same key). The hardware is Mobo: ASUSTeK model: Z170I PRO GAMING using the onboard graphics of i5-6500 CPU. I'm currently running ROSA Desktop Fresh R8.1 release 2014.1 for x86_64 on this machine for a half-year or so with adequate functionality. There were challenges getting distros to work with Skylake last year, but the kernel has matured and, for example, i915.preliminary_hw_support=1 as kernel command should not be needed. I tried adding it to the kernel options, anyway, but no difference: the screen goes to black after kernel loads, the monitor light stays on, showing there is a signal, but no more. I boot the Z170I with usb key inserted, press F8, and get options to boot from ADATA or eufi ADATA. I don't know what eufi does for me except complicate things, so I avoid that as a first choice. After no installation or live session being presented to me, I tried the eufi option. Interestingly, the boot menu gives me boot from DVD and boot from USB options. I choose USB and a black screen appears in the middle of the boot menu screen and stays like that. Boot from DVD acts the same. This is an HTPC, not the primary machine. The primary monitor is an old Viewsonic at 1024x768 connected from onboard connector by HDMI to DVI adapter. The display monitor is an LG LED widescreen connected from onboard display port to HDMI adapter. As I said, I've got this working with ROSA and other distros from last year. Finally, I disconnected the HDMI cable to the LG widescreen and tried several more times with the classical installer iso on usb key. Magic keys still work if I don't wait too long (5 minutes) for something to happen, it seems. After long waits, I have to use the power button.
I burned a dvd of Mageia-6-rc-x86_64-DVD iso with brasero and verified the burn. The outcome is the same. I booted this dvd on my main machine: Mobo: Gigabyte model: Z68X-UD3H-B3 Intel 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller on i7-2600K CPU That got me the classic installer. This machine is, also, connected to the LG widescreen LED for occasional multimedia display and a main monitor, which is LG LED. The graphics configuration doesn't appear to be relevant. The burner used was a usb drive, also used to boot the dvd. It gives the described boot menu, then black screen when booted from the Z170I, whether eufi device or non-eufi drive.

Reassigning to the kernel and drivers maintainers, as I think that's where the problem lies. @Rolf, you could try booting with the kernel options "rd.blacklist.driver=intel" and "xdriver=modesetting" to see if that works any better. Also attach the output from 'lspci' when booted into your ROSA desktop.

Created attachment 9365 [details] OpenMandriva Lx release 3.0 (Einsteinium) for x86_64 live loaded modules This hardware is not exactly a cake walk and I've updated the BIOS since making other distro installations. I wanted to test whether anything can boot from exterior media. I have OpenMandriva Lx release 3.0 (Einsteinium) for x86_64 on usb key and it appears to be from August 2016. I attach the key to USB 2 connection, as USB 3/3.1 can give some problems, e.g. in virtualbox. The default boot to a live session proceeds through language, timezone, keyboard, and license agreement, then stops at an OMV splash screen. I can cycle vt's and login. I set up an ssh session from MGA 5 and collect some information. The attached file includes lsmod output and it appears i915 is loaded.

To be sure that this is not an adapter/hardware problem, could you try to boot without an adapter, but only a hdmi cable, and not a dual-monitor setup. Use the LiveUSB (not the classical iso), not the burned DVD to exclude a possible problem with the DVD drive. Only connect the real necessary external hardware. When you see the second Mageia boot screen (not the BIOS, not the GRUB screen), hit the ESC key to see the kernel/boot messages. Or at the GRUB boot screen, edit the kernel command line, delete "splash quiet".

MGA 6 RC gives boot menu, then black screen. Those are the first words of the bug report title. There is no splash screen or "second Mageia boot screen", only a black screen, as described throughout. I have tried ESC but there is nothing displayed, no vt's from Alt-F?. > Or at the GRUB boot screen, edit the kernel command line, delete "splash > quiet". I have tried that.
Created attachment 9368 [details] plop kernel, cmdline, lsmod, lspci For another test of this hardware, everything connected, I booted a dvd of ploplinux-4.3.3-x86_64.iso to a functional live desktop. https://www.plop.at/en/ploplinux/index.html The kernel is 4.10.8 and not so much built in modules, as the attached lsmod shows and, I think, a comparison of the size of bzimage with my MGA5 running kernel, on my main desktop machine, suggests: [rolf@p8z68 kernel]$ ll total 18972 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 10723792 04-07-2017 08:53 bzImage -r--r--r-- 1 root root 8702589 04-10-2017 07:26 initramfs.gz [rolf@p8z68 kernel]$ ll /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.68-desktop-1.mga5 /boot/initrd-4.4.68-desktop-1.mga5.img -rw------- 1 root root 9346944 05-26-2017 07:18 /boot/initrd-4.4.68-desktop-1.mga5.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4471904 05-14-2017 11:00 /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.68-desktop-1.mga5 The HTPC in question runs on 4.6.7-nrj-desktop-1rosa-x86_64, currently, and installed with 4.1.25-nrj-desktop-1rosa-x86_64, at which early stage of driver development, the i915.preliminary_hw_support=1 switch was required.
I have just gone into BIOS and selected to restore the optimized defaults. Mageia-6-rc-x86_64-DVD boots into the classic installer from the usb-connected burner and I'm looking at the language selection screen. Sorry for the distraction. Thanks.
