Hello, people from Mageia!
I have problem trying to boot from live-DVD on my laptop - Intel chipset and Intel graphic card, that was recognized by Centos as i915 Intel driver.
I have tried several commands on boot, kernel line, like rdblacklist=all possible, xdriver=intel, xdriver=vesa, rdblacklist=fglrx xdriver=intel, apm=off, acpi=off, acpi=force.
I have tried boot to run level 3, no luck. I have tried boot with battery only power, with power adapter plugged etc. I don't know how many times a reboot for a different set of commands.
After all tries, I think the problem seems to be power management, It seems the installation turns off the backlight completely after boot splash. I realized that 'cos I could see the first window from installation(maybe agreement screen) from the very black screen background.
