Hello.

I'm trying to use use Yast2 in order to create and install a new Xen
VM. However, I get the following error when trying to start the
installation:

Failed to extract the kernel from the installation source.
Please check that your installation source is accesible.

These are the settings for the new VM:

AutoYaST:
- AutoYaST Profile: none

Virtualization Mode:
- Paravirtualization

VM Properties:
- Name of Virtual Machine: vm1

Hardware:
- Memory size: 160MB
- Number of Virtual CPUs: 1
- Hardware Clock: Local Time

Disks:
- Disk /dev/hda: Create 4096MB Image (Sparse File)
- Disk /dev/hdb: Use Disk hdd (Read-Only)

Network:
- Number of Virtual Network Cards: 1

Operating System Installation:
- Installation Device: CD/DVD Device (/dev/hdd)
- Installation Options: TERM=xterm textmode=1

I'm trying to install from the OpenSUSE 10.1 RC3 CD's.
Any ideas on what's going on?
