I already had built isos based on 5.4.17 series kernel, but forgot to assign them for tests, so I have now rebuilt them with the kernel-5.5.6-2.mga7 that is being tested in bug 26258. For now I have them here: http://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/mageia.org/people/tmb/mga7/netinstall-5.5.6/ After validation they will be moved to normal place in installer tree: http://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/mageia.org/distrib/7/*/install/images/ and Mageia download webpages updated to match. To test, just dump them on usb and test starting network install. all four isos need testing. If they boot up properly and you get to the installer starting it's good enough. you dont need to complete partitioning or the full install as the stage2 and rescue modes are not updated. The reason for this is to provide isos that boot on newer hardware, making it easier to install.
All 4 netinstall isos boot OK in QEMU/KVM. Tested until the partitioning part of the install, selecting various servers, with and without a proxy. No issues found. $ sha512sum *.iso 13c63a10d983c379f2a3563577815976d7108764cf6c089b14cbf7e813b95ac47832ed19dbac78afedc99a279087769505f91508a20ecafa112ba7e6f25d67dc Mageia-7-netinstall-i586.iso aa9ea9052e5de2fd952a4968c9fb0897ecc702d1be980a40d85cca8ee92e87e0818aee8a844d770f6e102c2fd20b8062a7c09a6ac20dd4111ceff933f52bb115 Mageia-7-netinstall-nonfree-i586.iso b3c22e16f79edcf1bd4412049bcb8d052910efb1ccdfa17ddfd538f973c01f2919b3a57b67e484fe7429483328339e586a2506e824a0a8818c3103bafd3df4c3 Mageia-7-netinstall-nonfree-x86_64.iso d042514399b0ec856d22c4d54cccfd582a6da202865c8eeb3a0812f69869d92a9be457dc0e368e8dff51d16aa2bf4759325ef2bacbf82c347f67938656a36e33 Mageia-7-netinstall-x86_64.iso $ # host system $ uname -a Linux marte 5.5.4-desktop-1.mga7 #1 SMP Sat Feb 15 08:41:16 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ rpm -qa | grep qemu | sort ipxe-roms-qemu-20190125-1.mga7 qemu-audio-alsa-4.0.0-2.mga7 qemu-audio-oss-4.0.0-2.mga7 qemu-audio-pa-4.0.0-2.mga7 qemu-audio-sdl-4.0.0-2.mga7 qemu-block-curl-4.0.0-2.mga7 qemu-block-dmg-4.0.0-2.mga7 qemu-block-iscsi-4.0.0-2.mga7 qemu-block-nfs-4.0.0-2.mga7 qemu-block-ssh-4.0.0-2.mga7 qemu-common-4.0.0-2.mga7 qemu-img-4.0.0-2.mga7 qemu-kvm-4.0.0-2.mga7 qemu-system-x86-4.0.0-2.mga7 qemu-system-x86-core-4.0.0-2.mga7 qemu-ui-curses-4.0.0-2.mga7 qemu-ui-gtk-4.0.0-2.mga7 qemu-ui-sdl-4.0.0-2.mga7

FWIW, my initial installation of Mageia 7 to this machine entailed gparted copies of the previous file system to new solid state storage, which failed to boot. Running the netinstall iso and 'upgrading' the installation has got it working. There are some challenges and I ran through the upgrade in this instance, again, only changing the bootloader from graphical to text. I am still not seeing the good old grub .98 text boot but reboot was normal and system is, otherwise, the same.
