i tried with SPEEDBOOT=no and after restart was ok but after shutdown and reboot the problem was present.
thanks for your reply, Dimitrios Do you mind attaching a picture?
Created attachment 1115 [details] Photo of messages during the boot We can see the characters transformed to white squares
thanks for the picture :) @ blino Can initscripts be the culprit?

I can confirm the above "strange" behavior on boot messages in the Greek installation. Also, that is not always reproducible. My system is x86_64 KDE.

Is this bug still valid? If so, is it also valid in cauldron?
In Mageia 1 it is still valid , i don't know in cauldron.
Now in Mageia 2 the messages are in English so there is no problem. I prefer to have the boot messages untranslated, as it is now.

Yes of course, there is no problem for me.
