Hi, you can switch to console 2 (by pressing 'Ctrl-Alt-F2') during installation, put a floppy in floppy drive or plug a USB key/stick and type: 'bug' then press Enter. It will put report.bug on the floppy/key.

I had the same problem. After disabling the floppy in the bios the install was ok.

Ok so it's with the floppy disk

maybe this bug is also a duplicate of bug 4642 as I guess the stage2 use udisks ?
Ok. I have more informations. Before : I booted with install method and it freezed after licence acception form. No way to debug. -> I have lots of garbage on syslog (error I/O fd0 ...) So I've disabled floppy disk (I haven't one) in Bios as Magnus said. --> Works. Now I have other issues.
(In reply to comment #5) > maybe this bug is also a duplicate of bug 4642 as I guess the stage2 use udisks > ? There's no udisk in installer at all. Thomas: is there any way to make the kernel's floppy.ko be less intrusive?

Installing Mageia-2-beta2-x86_64-DVD from dvd, I have replicated this, disabling FD in bios gave me the install / upgrade step

folks, if you change your boot order in bios so that the usb is before the floppy, does the problem still exist? I take it the licence is there on the usb.

no USB involved here (originally Bug 4745), so no, doesn't change a thing.
I'm thinking of patching kernel like fedora so it stops to autoload floppy everytime it finds the pnp headers

I have now disabled floppy autoloading in svn, and it will be part of upcoming 3.3.3-1.mga2
just verified with the most recent dual boot CD image and the issue (Bug 4745) is gone. will do some more testing with the DVD images, but I consider this one fixed.
Closing then
