the initrd is trying to redo, but with the current mga2 kernel which doesn't 
exist in the chroot. so again, i need to reinstall the kernel to trigger the 
initrd.

[ ]# urpmi --no-suggests --replacepkgs --urpmi-root /chroot/mga3 kernel-
desktop-3.7.1

apparently i need more, there was only a basic text mode moving bar on the 
bottom:

[ ]# urpmi --no-suggests --urpmi-root /chroot/mga3 mageia-theme-Default
[ ]# urpmi --no-suggests --replacepkgs --urpmi-root /chroot/mga3 kernel-
desktop-3.7.1

bootsplash still nothing, but at least i get a mageia logo during system boot 
and shutdown,

giving up on this for now... it's a bit annoying though, since the rpc.idmapd 
message happens and then i wait about 45seconds to get a graphical screen

chroot /chroot/mga3 passwd

rather, i'm installing a full DE, so i boot it and put in a keyboard and login 
and install task-kde4

ouch, my bad, it seems i have connection refused when doing local urpmi. and 
to make matters worse, it seems the rpm database has been upgraded due to that 
and the mga2 server can't install chrooted packages anymore... :-( So, i have 
to restart it.

... to be continued
