I don't know if it is related to. I was trying to boot openSUSE 12.3 GNOME Live CD-i686 into already installed openSUSE 12.1 and 12.2 x86_64 with similar above outcome (you mentiioned). Instead, booting from openSUSE 12.1 or 12.2 x86 (32-bit) made the trick.

Have you tried booting from 32-bit or 64-bit Live CD ?

Regards,

I'm trying to boot the 32-bit image in VB on a 64-bit (12.2) host. Would Oracle's 32-bit package make a difference?

Jon

Both Media (32 and 64 bit) Checksum is OK. So we can discard that issue. I am not sure why (I would speculate it). It worked for me. In case it's possible try to boot 64 bit Live CD into 64 bit host to know it makes a difference. If it works please post it here.

I don't think VBox supports 64 bit. I've never had luck with it anyway. Gave it a try anyway, and openSUSE 12.3 tells me I have a 32-bit machine.

It sure does, I've been using the 64 bit version for a couple of years. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

If underlying openSUSE installation is 32 bit then you can't run 64 bit guest.

My system is 64-bit. For whatever reason, the CPU control is disabled and set to one CPU by default. It's never been necessary to investigate it, but now I'm wondering.

But even when the underlying system is 64 bit, under certain circumstances, CPU hardware related, you can't run a 64 bit system as guest. -- fr.gr. Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I've tried the 32-bit image on a VM, and both the 32- and 64-bit CDs on my computer. All three fail on my system. I have a Core 2 CPU and 4GB RAM. It sounds like it's only working in particular cases.

I installed the 32-bit in VBox to init 3, and that's partly successful. I can't switch to init 5. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Check Users you want to use VirtualBox have the proper permission or they are included in Virtualization Users Group.

YaST2 has a nice Graphic User Interface to manage Users and Users Group. After add the proper user to Virtualization Users Group you may need to reboot.

Hope this could help you.

Yea, I'm in the vboxusers group. I can't boot to the CD on my computer, either, 32- or 64-bit. Tried on an older pentium box and could only the text login. The only thing that's at least partly worked is installing a VM to init 3, but I can't switch to init 5 from there. I guess I'll wait and check M1.
