Was installing Mageia-2 to VirtualBox via live cd.
For the mkinitrd to fail, it's probably due to bug 44, causing it to reach the 10 minute timeout limit. Try editing the kernel options when booting the live cd, and adding "divider=10" (without the quotes). If that works, then this bug can be closed as a duplicate of bug 44.

Glen and Al, can you confirm whether the workaround given in comment 2 works?

Rémi Verschelde I used easy2boot and put the iso on a usb stick. You can get it from easy2boot.com When I used the Mageia-4-i586-DVD.iso 3.7GB (Mageia-4-i586-DVD.iso) Install & upgrade it did not work for me even with using the divider=10 workaround. It just booted to Welcome to emergency mode on black screen. I loged in as root and started x "startx" at the command line". When KDE loaded Mageia Controll Center would not work. I used LiveDVD KDE 1.4GB (Mageia-4-LiveDVD-KDE-i586-DVD.iso) to install and it worked with out any modification. I think it is because that the live version had the drivers I needed for my machine. You may want to try Mageia4.1. I have not tried it yet. Mageia 4.1 is a maintenance release for Mageia 4 with the current packages from update medias. It also has a fix for a syslinux bug which prevented some people installing from a burned cd/dvd. al Do not let negative truth keep you from the truth.

We don't have any logs on those ancient installs. Hopefully if it happens on mga5, we'll now why.
