This might be a lightbulb moment, or a total red herring...

 From the package name you give above, I see that you're using the 
x86_64 version of Mandriva.

A couple of years ago there was a big fuss about this - the x86_64 
versions of the OS had many problems which simply didn't exist in 
the "normal" i586 versions.

I am still using the i586 versions of Mandriva because I don't have 
any 64-bit hardware, so I can't test it.

I have no idea if the differences still exist, but it might be worth 
trying to install the i586 version (I assume you have it on the 
other DVD) to see if your problems go away!
