+the initrd is trying to redo, but with the current mga2 kernel which doesn't 
+exist in the chroot. so again, i need to reinstall the kernel to trigger the 
+initrd.

+
+apparently i need more, there was only a basic text mode moving bar on the 
+bottom:
+
+[ ]# urpmi --no-suggests --urpmi-root /chroot/mga3 mageia-theme-Default
+[ ]# urpmi --no-suggests --replacepkgs --urpmi-root /chroot/mga3 kernel-
+desktop-3.7.1
+
+bootsplash still nothing, but at least i get a mageia logo during system boot 
+and shutdown,
+
+giving up on this for now... it's a bit annoying though, since the rpc.idmapd 
+message happens and then i wait about 45seconds to get a graphical screen

+
+rather, i'm installing a full DE, so i boot it and put in a keyboard and login 
+and install task-kde4
+
+ouch, my bad, it seems i have connection refused when doing local urpmi. and 
+to make matters worse, it seems the rpm database has been upgraded due to that 
+and the mga2 server can't install chrooted packages anymore... :-( So, i have 
+to restart it.
+
+... to be continued
