Mandriva 2009 fails to install

zebra90210 · 04-08-2009, 01:08 AM

Hi,
I have just downloaded a 2009 distribution of Mandriva.
I tried to install it but it wouldn't work.
It goes thru the initial stages, hardware detection etc, but then I get a black screen with these two lines:

audit(1239155372.225:69878): auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 op=remove rule key=(null) list=2 res=1

audit(1239155372.225:69878) audit_enabled=0 old=1 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 res=1

and right below it a blinking cursor.
That's it. No Mandriva..
Has anyone seen this kind installation error?

thanks

Had the same problem with the live CD and got the same results as yours.

Googled Mandriva +"op=remove rule key=(null)" for the last month and found a bug report here:

Someone else posted on LQ about the issue earlier:

And someone posted at the Mandriva forums:

Dunno how to resolve it but I'll be following this thread and the Mandriva thread.
