A 64-bit HTTP install which is pointed at the cauldron directory fails immediately with the message: Error: couldn't get file (/mnt/cauldron/install/stage2/mdkinst.sqfs) It appears that the HTTP install is not smart enough to realize that since it is running in a 64-bit boot.iso, it should look for this file in /mnt/cauldron/x86_64/install/stage2/mdkinst.sqfs NFS and Hard-disk installs do this correctly, and so should HTTP. Note that if you give the HTTP directory as /mnt/cauldron/x86_64, everything works fine. This implies that later in the install, the i586 path is being set incorrectly to compensate for the error in the original path.

IIUC, at the time when you filed this report you were not supposed to install cauldron, but to install Mga1 and then take the steps here http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=cauldron @ Thierry Did I misunderstand?

No reply, so I guess this was user error. Closing as invalid. Feel free to reopen if you think I'm wrong to do so, and explain why you think that.

Yeah the HTTP path never got that kind of intelligence. Only the disk ones (including NFS) got that over the years. Fixed in git anyway (for HTTP). Should be in next drakx-installer-binaries tomorrow.
Resolution: INVALID => FIXED
Thanks ! Sorry, Marja, somehow I missed the previous posts on this.
