The old Dell Inspiron 5100 (P4, radeon RV200 graphics, Atheros wifi) 32-bit Xfce system seems to like this one OK.

Device-1: NVIDIA GM204 [GeForce GTX 970] driver: nvidia v: 430.64

Running fine after updating under the linus kernel.  Smooth reboot but still with nouveau graphics.  Ran drakx11 and `dracut -f` to reinstate nvidia.  Fine after reboot.

Host: canopus Kernel: 5.4.16-desktop-1.mga7 x86_64
10-Core: Intel Core i9-7900X type: MT MCP
Device-1: NVIDIA GP102 [GeForce GTX 1080 Ti] driver: nouveau

Installation OK but again a cold boot was required.
Searching for new hardware took a long time and in the end the nvidia driver was not installed. Jumped through hoops twice, reinstalling nvidia, cold rebooting and ending up with nouveau again.  Giving up on this.  An almost brand new workstation ready for the junk pile.  £4000 down the drain.

Continuing from comment 5, the system is running normally, coping with stress tests, TV, video, celestia and stellarium.  So it is OK for 64-bits.
The only regression is the lack of nvidia.
The cold reboot fault may be due to some corruption in the BIOS for all I know.

Continuing from comment 6.
Mow this is weird.  Moved to another partition on the core i9 machine, installed the test kernel and everything ran smoothly except needing a cold reboot.  Nvidia came up without any user intervention, and glmark2 runs.  The only difference from the other partition is that the latest kernel linus had not been tested beforehand and it started from an nvidia base.  The cold reboot has to be an unrelated issue.

Are you sure the failed partition was booting into kernel-desktop? If you select "Mageia" in grub when you boot and kernel-linus is still installed, it may be sending you into kernel-linus even if a higher-number kernel-desktop has been installed. If you select the "Advanced" alternative for that partition, you can be sure you get the one you want.

If it were me, I would boot into whichever kernel was the last to work with Nvidia, remove all versions of kernel-linus, and update grub to avoid Bug 16268. Then I'd try the test kernel again.

Yes - I usually do select the advanced option when testing and if not, check the kernel version after login. grub2 should be up-to-date by now on these partitions.

Had another go. After booting with nouveau noted that the nvidia module in place referred to the earlier kernel (using dkms status) so replaced it and updated xorg.conf:
# urpme dkms-nvidia-current
# urpmi dkms-nvidia-current
# drakx11
and for good measure
# dracut -f (probably redundant)
dkms status then reported the correct nvidia module as "added" - not installed.
I figured it would be built and installed at the reboot but there was no "building nvidia driver" message.  After a wait up came the "There has been a display driver change".  'OK' worked this time by starting the reboot - which entailed switching off the power and restarting the machine.  Maybe there is some information lost when that happens.  Anyway the boot process started and then hung....
The screen showed:
8 lines of ACPI BIOS errors
"hid-generic.......  No inputs registered, leaving"
then 20 lines of
"EDAC skx: ECC is disabled on imc 0"
Something to do with the CPU cores no doubt.  All this is normal but the last line is not expected:
"USB 1-8: device not accepting address 3, error -71"
and there it hangs.

Another thing to note is that the nokmsboot option is lost and has to added after selecting the kernel in the grub2 menu.

Since one partition is running fine with the new kernel and nvidia I have made the decision to drop the "bad" partition and use it later for cauldron installation testing.  The cold reboot problem is beyond my understanding.  It makes using this machine an uncomfortable experience so I might stop using it for kernel or nvidia  testing.

description: |
  This update is based on upstream 5.4.17 and fixes atleast the following
  security vulnerabilities:

  In a Linux KVM guest that has PV TLB enabled, a process in the guest kernel
  may be able to read memory locations from another process in the same guest.
  This problem is limit to the host running linux kernel 4.10 with a guest
  running linux kernel 4.16 or later. The problem mainly affects AMD
  processors but Intel CPUs cannot be ruled out (CVE-2019-3016).

  A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel,
  in Marvell WiFi chip driver. A remote attacker could cause a denial of
  service (system crash) or, possibly execute arbitrary code, when the
  lbs_ibss_join_existing function is called after a STA connects to an AP
  (CVE-2019-14896).

  A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the Linux kernel, in Marvell
  WiFi chip driver. An attacker is able to cause a denial of service
  (system crash) or, possibly execute arbitrary code, when a STA works in
  IBSS mode (allows connecting stations together without the use of an AP)
  and connects to another STA (CVE-2019-14897).

  fs/namei.c in the Linux kernel before 5.5 has a may_create_in_sticky
  use-after-free, which allows local users to cause a denial of service
  (OOPS) or possibly obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, aka
  CID-d0cb50185ae9. One attack vector may be an open system call for a UNIX
  domain socket, if the socket is being moved to a new parent directory and
  its old parent directory is being removed (CVE-2020-8428).

  arm64/KVM debug registers vulnerability affecting systems with an ARMv8.1
  or later CPU (with the Virtualisation Host Extensions). The implications
  are that a guest, for a brief period, may be able to read event counters
  belonging to the host or potentially trigger perf-related IRQs in the host
  (no CVE assigned yet).

  There is also various fixes for crashing or hanging the kernel by malicious
  users or devices.

  Other additional fixes and features in this update:

  - WireGuard kernel module has been updated to 0.0.20200128 and the tools
    has been updated to 1.0.20200121.

  - platform/x86: asus_wmi: Support throttle thermal policy, and set to
    default to avoid overheating and throttling

  - hwmon/k10temp: Support for additional temperature sensors as well as
    voltage and current telemetry for Zen CPUs

  - hid: add Amd Sensor Fusion Hub Driver

  - e1000e: Revert "e1000e: Make watchdog use delayed work" as it causes
    issues on some systems
  - e1000e: Add support for Comet Lake and Tiger Lake

  - x86/timer: Don't skip PIT setup when APIC is disabled or in legacy mode
    (fixing PIT not being setup on some systems)

  - cifs: fix soft mounts hanging in the reconnect code

  - move kernel preun bits to postun to fix grub2 menu cleanup on kernel
    uninstall (mga#16268)

  For other upstream fixes in this update, see the referenced changelogs.

No problems with installation but restart failed as usual; this has become endemic on this machine.  The race condition or whatever it is prevents investigation.  Had run fwts earlier to see if there were any clues in the results of the tests. 
To be lived with.

Apart from that all is well.

Now this is interesting.  Tried my first ever kernel update in 64-bit virtualbox on the core i9 system, updating from a 5.1.14 kernel under Mate.  No problems with installation but logging out and restarting ended in a freeze, 6.6 seconds into the reboot, with a lot of information on the screen: a list of modules linked in, end trace, RIP: 0010:vfs_getattr_nosec, code: ...twinhex....
followed by what looks like a list of registers with their contents RSP.....DR3
then two lines of cfg80211 data about loading X.509 certificate
then nothing.
Starting from cold the boot process froze after 2.43 seconds:
Started Hold until boot process finishes up.
Started Terminate Plymouth boot screen.

Was able to revert to the 5.1.14 kernel and check dkms status.
That listed xtables-addons for 5.4.17 and the installed-binary from kernel-5.7.14.

All this may simply be a result of my lack of experience with virtualbox.  There may well be something critical missing.

Correction to comment 23: the nvidia driver was installed and running.  nouveau was a cut&paste error.
