+I am writing from a DVD install downloaded from Mageia and burned onto a 
+DVD. I also did a SUM check and all was fine. I tried to install 3-4 
+times and I got the same messages as you. I then realized that, 
+depending on some boards you may need to install with "NO ACPI" (btw 
+this happened quite regularly with Mandriva".
+
+Then install with "NO ACPI" on my machine went well and it was all 
+installed 20 minutes later with no hiccups.
+
+Give it a try.
+
+Cheers,
