Shouldn't some parts output be in English?

Like the part for Drakconf issue.

I'd say this is something that the creator of that department have to fix.

IDE controllers and kernel module load order.

As per https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6310#c1 the problem is that ide hard drives show up as /dev/hd? instead of as /dev/sd?, and cd/dvd drives show up as /dev/hd? instead of as /dev/sr?. It's been fixed for most cases, but not all apparently.

The workaround is to add a kernel option, with rdloaddriver=module, where module is replaces with one of pata_via, pata_amd, pata_jmicron, or ata_piix, depending on the hardware being used.

To determine which module is needed, the easiest way is to run lspcidrake|grep IDE under Mageia 1. If Mageia 1 is not available, all four modules can be loaded, and then use lspcidrake|grep IDE, to see which one is needed for the hardware in use. I.E. add rdloaddriver=pata_via rdloaddriver=pata_amd rdloaddriver=pata_jmicron rdloaddriver=ata_piix to the kernel options. Once the correct module is known, add the kernel option to all entries in /boot/grub/menu.lst.

Boot fails when webdav, sshfs etc. entries exist in fstab (in first boot with HDD)

I tried to make boot USB with Live CD. It work, It install successfully. But when I reboot, It get error. It happen because I use isohybrid to make USB Boot, after install, installer call usb as build-in device (I guess) and write configured in fstab. I fixed it by delete configured line in /etc/fstab.
