I just tried installing Mageia 7 beta 1 64 bit under VirtualBox (on Mageia 6) I created a 40Gig virtual hard drive. When it started to format the disk with ext4, a message came up that said, "can't call method "val" on an undefined value." So Formatting failed. It did get past this error one time and actually started installing, but died pretty early in the package installation process. It just stopped. Removing and re-creating the virtual hard disk produced the same results. I tried it several times...without success.
Thanks for the bug report. Please reproduce the issue, switch to tty2 inside VirtualBox, insert a USB key and type "bug", so that report.bug gets written to the USB key. Then attach report.bug to this bug report. Compress with xz if it's too large to attach. Thanks :-)

As it turns out, this IS NOT a bug after all. I made a couple of tweaks to my VirtualBox settings and then beta 1 installed and ran flawlessly.
For the record, what was the vbox setting change that causes it?

This is what I changed in VirtualBox. I changed the default virtualization setting from "default" to "Hyper-V" and the type of drive from "solid state" to "normal"...i.e, I unchecked the box for "solid-state drive." (it actually IS on an SSD...I changed it back after beta 1 was installed.)
