hi, I could test Beta1 with real hardware i586. After install, it locked up at boot (even Magickeys are dead). After a big diggin, it is the b43 kernel driver that locks everything at boot when it is loaded without firmware files.
This is a regression, a bug report is done : https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4798 Now the question : should we default installing b43-openfwwf as it is an open-source firmware? Not only it solves this bug, but it also allows direct use of Broadcom 4312 Wifi cards. zezinho PS: Another problem is that b43 driver uses several firmware files for several different hardware, and b43-openfwwf only brings one of them. So it will not be usefull for any b43 hardware.
