I have encounter locks on reboot after upgrading mga6 to mga7. With several migrations from mga6 to mga7, I had this lock when rebooting. The lock occurs before sddm. I have good reasons to think that this happens with video drivers. On the last case, I could investigate and I have found a nvidia430 installed. With a fresh install (new disk) on the same machine nvida390 was installed. An update from a DVD or a USB-key doesn't repair. Drakx11 from recovery mode tried to install nvidia390 without success. From recovery mode I did: # urpme `rpm -qa "*nvidia*"` Then, with drakx11, I could installed nvidia390 and I have manually put "nvidia" in xorg.conf because I have tried nouveau before. And the boot is now perfect... I have now access at 2 machines which had the same problem. On these machines lspcidrake gives: Card:NVIDIA GeForce 420 to GeForce 630: NVIDIA Corporation|GF108 [GeForce GT 730] [DISPLAY_VGA] (rev: a1) Card:NVIDIA GeForce 420 to GeForce 630: NVIDIA Corporation|GF108 [GeForce GT 440] [DISPLAY_VGA] (rev: a1) Note that in both cases "GeForce 420 to GeForce 630" is the driver selected. This is perhaps related to: Bug 21274 - Problem upgrading to Mageia 6 with NVIDIA driver
Thank you Pierre for the report and your findings. This bug is very similar to bug 24967 esp https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24967#c3 both of which deal with chosen nvidia 430 not working and needing nvidia 390 to work. Bug 25826 is similar in spirit: chosen nvidia 390 does not work, needs nvidia 340 to work. Can these be wrapped up together?
