I have a OpenSuse 10.2 x86_64 AMD AM2 system running xen. Installing 10.2 domU works ok when done over network or iso image but I can't even get the install to start when trying 10.3 beta 3.

Your first problem is that you are using beta3. :( There were some problems with the install, beta 3 plus clean that up some. RC1 seems to be working ok. I haven't done tons of testing on it yet, but haven't run into any problems. Did a few amount on beta3 plus and that seemed to be ok. Well, I still have the same problem, at least when using the .iso file as source, it can't find the kernel. I looked in y2log (>3000 lines just for this install) and found some

It seems like on 10.3 it's no "package" file, just "package.{de,en,fr,...}.gz" and when the 10.2 installer looks it fails with a missing "package". Checked on the 10.2 dvd and there it's a package file so there it's ok.

Remember that it's a 10.2 installer looking on a 10.3 install dvd, that might be why it doesn't work directly.

Since auto extracting the kernel doesn't work I did it manually and did a "Other os" install. It worked better but still no go, the console window starts up and shows a few things before it just hangs. The last message before hanging:

I don't know what to look for here but for me 10.3 is still a no-go, at least as long as you have a 10.2 xen host and want to create a 10.3 as a guest with yast (didn't test 100% manual install, don't know that much)

...

Note: HVM opensuse guests do not work. I believe it has something to do with isolinux

Can't fail that since my Gigabyte M61P-S3 mobo doesn't support HMV (bios issue, no update available)

Help that helps.

PS. There is also a #opensuse-xen channel on freenode. I try to hang out there as much as possible, but do read passed messages.

Did just join there but it was just me and Uranellus there, will try sometime during business hours

Will do some testing monday, at work. If a 10.3-DOM-0 only runs 10.3-DOM-u's it's certainly a bugzilla entry. Current 10.1 and 10.2 dom-0's run every kind of DOM-U, not just 10.1-dom-u, but ubuntu and freebsd as well.....

The feature i'm anxious to test, is 32-images on a 64-bit machine. Hans --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
