I tried to install Mageia 5 on my new laptop (UEFI) an ASUS N551J with
two graphical cards (intel and nvidia). I have tried every option
mentioned in the errata (hybrid graphics). I have tried the Live KDE 64
DVD and the classical 64 DVD. Nothing works. I am now 'doomed' to use
Mint, that works at once, but I like Mageia much better (if it is
installable).
LiveKDE64DVD:
Sometimes at boottime (LiveDVD) I get many nouveau errors and after a
while I get a KDE desktop (intel detected?). I can than install it and
after reboot I sometimes can configure a user and can log in into KDE.
After a few seconds everything freezes. Poweroff and poweron and than it
freezes already at boottime (blank screen or with nouveau errors with
sometimes I see kernel panic).
Sometimes at boottime (LiveDVD) I get less nouveau errors and it freezes
already (no KDE).
I tried boot options as suggested 'optimus' and/or 'rd.blacklist=nouveau
rd.blacklist=nvidia xdriver=intel' –> No effect. Still nouveau errors at
boottime and/or freezes.
ClassicalKDE64DVD:
Installation works until after reboot. Same problems as with the LiveDVD.
I tried the boot options, no effect. At the point of the installer to configure
the graphics, it suggested 'Intel 810 and later' and not 'use intel only' as
told in the errata. Even with Intel selected I get nouveau errors at boottime,
with or without boot options.
It seems a problem like mentioned in the errata with the hybrid graphics
(Intel+Nvidia), but the suggested options does not work.
Linux Mint 17.1:
No problem, works at once. No errors.

Same issues on my new laptop:
MSI GE70 2PC

Went back to Mageia 4, no issues there, as there never were.

My recollection is that using rd.blacklist didn't work for me, because
the nouveau driver got loaded later in the boot sequence. You could try
adding
blacklist nouveau
to /etc/modprobe.conf on the installed system to see if that helps.
I see in Peter's log that he is also experiencing bug 16033, although
that is probably not important at this stage.

Just done some experiments on my laptop, and I need both the boot option
*and* the entry in /etc/modprobe.conf to prevent the nouveau module
being loaded.
Furthermore, the required boot option is "rdblacklist=nouveau", not
"rd.blacklist=nouveau".

It is working now :-)
I use the boot options 'rdblacklist=nouveau nouveau.runpm=0
xdriver=intel'
nouveau.runpm=0 is a tip from doktor500, with this the LiveDVD/USB gives
nouveau errors but I get at least at every boot a KDE desktop.
The same boot options I use for the installed system.
Right after install with the first boot I selected 'Safe Mode' and added
'blacklist nouveau' to /etc/modprobe.conf.
After this I get no errors and get a beautiful Mageia KDE desktop.
Thanks for all the help.
