OK, so this would be interesting to me. I guess I'll need the logs from
that first boot to debug things.
Some questions:
1. Ideally, if you can reproduce this, can you add the following to the
kernel command line before first boot: "systemd.log_level=debug
systemd.log_target=kmsg" (it will obviously require a reinstall. I
suspect this could be related to
<A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4772">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4772</A> but as I've not been able
to reproduce this on any of my VMs, I suspect it may need some real
laptop h/w to reproduce which I don't have easy access to - I can switch
disks in my laptop but it's not exactly easy :s)
2. Does the boot properly hang? What is the resolution? Does it just
sit there forever and never timeout in a kind of deadlock? Can you get
to tty2 to login?
3. Assuming you cannot login, do the reboot and grab the
/var/log/dmesg.old file (as this will have the debug from the first
boot). If you can login, then just grab the /var/log/dmesg file.
Sorry I can't offer any more helpful advice until I can debug. But this
could be two separate and maybe (possibly related) issues that are being
debugged here: first boot hang and X config. It could be that the first
boot hang cause harddrake to be unable to do what it was supposed to on
first boot and thus left things in a less than ideal state for X setup?
