Mageia 1 (gnome europe 1) was tried and failed. Using dell inspiron 1525 the installation process stalled, causing freeze of flashing caps lock keyboard light. In comparison, mandriva 20102 was successful.
attach the file /root/drakx/report.bug.gz
Forget the comment 1, indeed you don't have Mageia installed sorry :) For bugs related to the traditional installer, DrakX (i.e. the Free DVD, not the Live CD's), the reporter should provide the file /root/drakx/report.bug.gz as an attachment. An easy way for doing this is ask the reporter to switch to console 2 (by pressing âCtrl-Alt-F2â) during installation, put a floppy in floppy drive or plug a USB key/stick and type âbugâ then press Enter. It will put report.bug on the floppy/key. (take from http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=triage_guide#installer-related_bugs)

The reporter is talking about the live CD AFAIK, not DVD installer.

@ blino We don't know what additional information to ask, there is nothing in our triage guide about installing from a live cd Assigning to you. Feel free to assign back, telling us what information we should have asked for.

Oops, and now I can think of a question @ e l Did you control the checksums of the iso before burning it and did you let K3b, or whatever you used, check the cd after burning?

Any suggestions you have are welcome, though

e l replied in a mail: > During 10 years of using mandrake, never checked the cd! Have > successfully installed mandriva, opensuse, redhat. Well, please try again with a checked iso and when starting to burn the CD, please use the option to verify the CD Maybe it would be even better to try Mga2Alpha1 http://blog.mageia.org/en/2011/11/25/mageia-2-alpha1-ready-for-testing/ > After many attempts, could not sign in, password rejected even after reset!!! Someone who installed Mga2Alpha1 CD in Virtual Box reported a problem with the keyboard https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3510 If you keep having this problem: which keyboard did you choose, could this be bug 3510?
