I hae not build the .iso into a DVD, but burned it into a USB pen
disk, and with a more thorough inspection i was able to see that in
the severall tries the same files were saved in the USB with
INCOMPLETE names, and that happened in files that had very long names,
like:

telepathy-kde-common-internals-translations-0.3.0-1.mga2.noarch.rpm
vboxadditions-kernel-3.3.6-desktop-2.mga2-4.1.12-5.mga2.x86_64.rpm
vboxadditions-kernel-3.3.6-netbook-2.mga2-4.1.12-5.mga2.x86_64.rpm

and the 19 failed transactions came from failed dependencies due to
not recognized the packages with incomplete names.

i used rufus in windows to burn the .iso into the usb, now i dont know
if this is specifically caused by rufus or if this is caused by other
thing, and here would be better that others could test and reproduce
this.

Regarding  "No ACPI" i can not confirm what Marc Paré said, and again,
the install runned fine, so here was not the case that "No ACPI" could
make any difference, only if the boot didnt run is that i could try
"No ACPI" to see if woud solve it.
And when using"No ACPI" the boot freezed.

So when in the USB pen disk i renamed the packages to its original
filenames, the install went fine and finally made to conclude with
sucess Mageia 2 install.
