Description Marc Lattemann 2012-09-30 19:46:10 CEST 
During installation from mga3 alpha2 LiveCD the checkbox 'remove unused hardware support' removes also packages needed for the system:

In my case the fglrx drivers will be removed which causes non-starting X after the reboot.

[marc@Rechner ~]$ lspci | grep ATI
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series

I've attached screenshot of de-installed packages.

Tested with Mageia-3-alpha2-LiveCD-KDE4-Europe1-Americas-x86_64-CD.

Listing of removed packages of i586 LiveCD KDE on same hardware. List is different: fglrx-kernel and x11-driver-video-fglrx are not present; however radeon-firmware is removed and therefore the reboot fails

Can you please add the result of the "lspcidrake -v" command?

Strange, in /usr/share/meta-task/rpmsrate-raw, we have:
  5 DRIVER"ATI Radeon HD 2000|r600" radeon-firmware

And it seems to match your driver line:
Card:ATI Radeon HD 2000 to HD 6300 (radeon/fglrx): ATI Technologies Inc|Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series [DISPLAY_VGA] (vendor:1002 device:95c4 subv:1028 subd:029f)
Comment 6 Dave Hodgins 2012-10-04 03:00:41 CEST 
Still present in Mageia-3-alpha2-LiveCD-GNOME-en-i586-CD.iso

lspcidrake |grep Card
Card:ATI Radeon HD 2000 to HD 6300 (radeon/fglrx): ATI Technologies Inc|Cedar PRO [Radeon HD 5450] [DISPLAY_VGA]

Note the radeon-firmware was removed.

Comment 7 Olivier Blin 2012-10-14 00:03:42 CEST 
Did you run the lspcidrake command from Mageia3?
It does not seem to be using the latest naming from ldetect-lst (Cards+).
Cards are now named "Card:ATI Radeon HD 5000 to HD 6300 (radeon/fglrx)".
Comment 8 Olivier Blin 2012-10-14 00:10:48 CEST 
I have just committed a fix in drakx to make sure radeon-firmware is installed during network install, and not removed during live install.
This should be fixed in next alpha/beta image.
Comment 9 Marc Lattemann 2012-10-14 20:14:22 CEST 
thanks - at least for my particular hardware the bug is not present anymore in all 6 different alpha2 isos build on 13th-Oct. The radeon-firmware is not removed anymore and the reboot into graphical mode after installation is working.

you're correct it was from mga2:

from mga3 alpha2:
[root@localhost Dokumente]# lspcidrake -v | grep ATI
snd_hda_intel   : ATI Technologies Inc|RV620 HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 3400 Series] [MULTIMEDIA_AUDIO_DEV] (vendor:1002 device:aa28 subv:1028 subd:029f)
