Description of problem: Just after starting the installation this message occurs at the start of "Detecting USB devices" stage: "Error no module list found" It may be innocuous because the process continues. It probably refers to the list of modules in the grub2/x86_64 section of the boot folder. That directory is populated on the running system. It might be connected with the misidentification of efi/BOOT reported in bug 31034 so might go away if that is addressed successfully. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mageia9-alpha1 How reproducible: Always on some hardware. e.g. on a new ASUS PN51 IntelNUC11 i7 Ryzen machine. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install from the mageia9-alpha1 iso 2. Watch for the message, which may appear only briefly. 3. Continue installation.
On a different machine, running Cauldron things look different: $ tree /boot/EFI /boot/EFI └── EFI ├── BOOT │ └── BOOTX64.EFI └── mageia └── grubx64.efi No module list.
That looks right. Thank you for the report. Even if (as it seems) the error message is innocuous, it is disconcerting and better avoided. "Install from the mageia9-alpha1 iso" : which one, please? Assume Classic. Assigning to the Tools people for the Installer; CC'ing Martin for comment in case he can throw any light.

Yes - the classic iso, x86_64.
I think this is because the module list used to select modules to include in the installer stage 1 hasn't been updated to match the current kernel. I don't know the process used to update the list. Running 'make check' in drakx/kernel fails with % make check perl -I. modules.pl check > /dev/null tar: ./all.kernels//all_modules.tar: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now Can't locate /usr/bin/merge2pcitable.pl at modules.pl line 128. make: *** [Makefile:5: check] Error 2 CC'ing tv and tmb for advice. I'd also like to know why that error message is added by a patch when building drakx-installer-binaries and not present in git.
