2. re-running the whole install as new install, keeping everything the same, but choosing grub results in a bootable beta2. I then select update all sources and allow this to complete. Then select update your system, it updates glibc and a short list of other things, then terminates silently; I'd expected it would come back with an extended list of packages to update. Re-running update manually, MCC brings up the 'Please wait' sliding progress bar, then immediately above it "A fatal error occurred: Couldn't open RPM DB () at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.14.2/Rpmdrake/open_db.pm line 74.."
The lilo bug is known https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5044 The rpmdrake bug has been fixed since the beta 2 iso was created. https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4918 Workaround is to install, don't do updates, after first boot use urpmi --auto-update to update rpmdrake, or for an already broken database ... # rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* # rm -f /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock # rm -f /var/lib/rpm/.RPMLOCK Then run the urpmi --auto-update.
