The cause of the problem is really minor, but you could have searched
bugzilla for similar bugs. Please try the following (after install) to fix
the error
1)Place the first CD in the drive you installed from
2)Log in as root
3)Run the following command:
# urpmi.update -a -f
Please post whether this helped ...
To fix this (caused by the first problem), try:
# XFdrake
Once configuration is complete, try:
# service dm start
Everything should work now.

I tried searching bugzilla, but only found a "it would be nice to have" message
regarding foomatic. Didn't know how to find similar bugs.
After install, I let it reboot. I got command line level, and did as you suggested:
1)Place the first CD in the drive you installed from
2)Log in as root
3)Run the following command:
# urpmi.update -a -f
I just got:
using different removeable device [/dev/scd0] for "Installation CD1 (X86) (cdrom1)"
using different removeable device [/dev/scd0] for "Installation CD2 (X86) (cdrom2)"
examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.installation cd1 (x86)
(cdrom1).cz
examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.installation cd2 (x86)
(cdrom2).cz
I next keyed in XFdrake. It let me choose a screen type, xserver version, and
xfree version, but called for and rejected the first cd "Installation CD1 (X86)
(cdrom1)"
I then keyed in service dm start. The system printed out on screen:
Starting display manager: [ok].
And that's all.

description:
I tried installing 9.1 beta 2 on a 30 meg partition of an AMD with a
60 gig hard drive, previously containing the stable 9.0.
All appeared well until the installation program got to the point of
configuring the printer. At first I tried just doing an upgrade installation,
then retried a full install.
Both times, it got to the printer configuration point. It asked if I wanted the
printer system initialized upon system startup. On the upgrade installation
attempt I said "no", on the full installation I said "yes".
Both times, the installation program asked me for CD 1. I put it in, and the
installation program could not recognize it (cd 2 was in at the time). I tried
going back to 2, and then retried 1, and both times it was stuck. I finally
pressed the CANCEL button.
The program then said "making printer port abailable for CUPS". Then I got "An
error occured. foomatic-configure failed.
Then I was told that the installation was successfully completed, and to reboot.
I pressed the next button onscreen, and the system rebooted. The partition
manager worked as before, and I tried to boot up linux. The system didn't
inititlize either KDE (which I'd requested as the default on startup) or GNOME,
but instead had me in text mode. Typing in KDE or STARTX yielded: "execve
(executive?) failed for /etc/X11/X".
Guess I'll have to reinstall Mandrake 9.0. Hope you'll have a new, debugged beta
release out soon.
