Attempted to install Mageia 5 beta 2 live DVD x86-64. This machine has previously had Mageia 4 and Mageia 5 alpha working on it.
Boot Manager rEFInd 0.8.4

Attempting to boot live, or after install to HDD, hangs after the following messages:
Code: Select all
ACPI: Warning:  \_SB_.PCI0.RP01.GFX0._DSM: Argument #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI requires [Package] (20140926/nsarguments-95)
ACPI: \_SB_.PCI0.RP01.GFX0: failed to evaluate _DSM

This problem mentioned in thread Mageia 5 beta 2 uefi test result
Posting here to add the above code, as the other thread has a different focus.

UPDATE:
5 beta 3 - problem remains the same.
mageia5 beta 3 DVD x86-64 (not live)
