The booting process stopped after logging in. This suggested to me that some plasma file had got corrupted. So I removed all plasma related files and began again. This did not help. So I made a new installation. Linux Mint this time, because that was the only system I had got on a USB stick. Later I remembered that Mageia starts up with the option of a recovery mode. (Never used this in all sixteen years of using Mandrake/Mandriva/Mageia.) I started up with the kernel before the newest. Everything worked flawalessly as ever. So I removed the latest kernel and "kernel-latest". No problem at all.
I hope this information is useful to those who understand the workings of the Mageia Kernel.
Greetings
Erik
