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.

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.

Furthermore, the required boot option is "rdblacklist=nouveau", not "rd.blacklist=nouveau".

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.

Installed Mageia 5 in a free partition, so i could leave Mageia 4 in place, in case of. But, so far the abovementioned workaround worked.
