If I read correctly the log, the problem is that configureX happens before any::installBootloader. This would happen when someone wants to configure X in the summary while lilo is preferred (RAID1), as configuring X resolution updates bootloader config. We don't want to install bootloader before giving the opportunity (in the summary) to decide if it will go to MBR or another partition, but we should either ensure that packages are available in bootloader::install or install them in steps_interactive::setupBootloader

same behaviour with a fresh install under 2_b3 (ae0f7bc093161fb16cd17c3253db03da Mageia-2-beta3-i586-DVD.iso)
Can you try configuring bootloader before X in the summary? I will try to fix this tomorrow (or maybe Saturday) but I'm not sure I will have time.
seem to be better unsing latest netboot.iso to install 2_b3 lilo is installed and seem to be configured but another behaviour has appear the machine does not boot due to pb with initrd files ? cf screenshot pb_reboot.jpeg

i don't know where to report this behavior so i have "cross posted" in bug id 1955 (cf https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1955).

same behavior under 2 RC (netboot install) cf attachment

Actually, we should not update bootloader when configuring X during install. This may write to people's MBR even if the later chose to install bootloader somewhere else. Given that we will anyway install bootloader when leaving summary, we should just skip it before.
According to tmb, a fix has been commited.

Yes indeed, configuring X will no longer install the bootloader
