This was encountered while confirming bug 27872.
Dave, you did not say much about how you were installing, especially with relation to that other bug. It is not the same error; but would it happen if you upped the VM memory to 768Mb?

This was selecting install from the boot menu. With 768MB, it finishes ok. I'll close this bug as fixed, as I've now asked atelier to modify https://www.mageia.org/en/support/ to indicate 768MB is required for live iso installs. I normally give each vb guest 4GB ram, so would normally never have encountered this bug.
