[opensuse-factory] 11.3M1 fails to install in VirtualBox
Hi folks, I've been trying to install 11.3M1 into a VirtualBox VM but every installation i've tried hangs at "Loading basic drivers..." immediately after selecting "Installation" on the boot screen. No keys work, screen freezes. I have another machine which I dup'ed from 11.2 to factory and that works in the same virtualbox, so I don't think its a major kernel incompatibility. I'm running VirtualBox 3.1.4BETA2. I've tried Milestone 1 netinstall + DVD, and build 437 netinstall, i586. Does anyone have a successful install of 11.3 in VirtualBox? Can anyone tell me how to get more info on what modules the kernel is trying to load? None of the other VTs are active yet at the stage where it hangs... Are there any kernel options I should try? I already tried nolapic, noacpi, and the "Failsafe" kernel. I've seen some old bug reports on bnc that never seemed to have been resolved, but I would guess that they're not related.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 have you checked the md5/sha1 sums? i have latest STABLE release (3.1.2) and it works.. if the sum is correct, i think the problem is your BETA virtualbox Regards Andrea Il 12/02/2010 23:00, Tejas Guruswamy ha scritto:

There is a Bugzilla entry on this. You need to reduce the RAM available to the VM to be below 700 MB. Once installed, then it can be increased. Larry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
