Hello

I just downloaded 11.1 and thought I would install it in vmware to have
a look around. I have not been able to do this as vmware complains that
it cannot find a hard disk. So, I tried a few things (made a new vmware
image and tried other openSUSE releases), and it seems that both 11.0
and 11.1 fail. 10.3, however, works fine.

When 11.1 is booting, I see that it loads the LSI Logic 53C1030 driver,
and there are no complaints to the console.

Host OS: openSUSE 10.0
VMware: 5.5.9 build-126128

Have I missed something? As an aside, how can you get to the guest OS'
virtual terminals in vmware? I get to the host's virtual terminals,
which is not what I am after.

"On two occasions I have been asked (by members of Parliament!),
'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures,
will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend
the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

And remember:

It is RSofT and there is always something under construction.
It is like talking about a large city with all construction finished.
Not impossible, but very unlikely.
