The solution:
When installing Mageia (1 or 2) on an Acer eMachine e525, and you end up with
a black screen:
Reboot with the install DVD, and go for "Update Mageia n"
When the install reaches the post-install config step:
Go to Bootloader => Configure => Next
You are now shown the various entries of the Grub menu and can modify them one
by one; just do that, adding acpi_osi=Linux to all the Mageia lines.
File a bug agains kernel and attach the output of dmidecode, and we can
make kernel switch to it automatically.
If you know your machine has this problem, you can do all this as part of the
original Mageia install process, saves time ;-3)
Be aware that for reasons unclear, the Fn keys for more or less backlight are
inverted: Fn + ^ for less light, Fb + v for more.
Cheers,
Ron.
