I booted the Milestone 6 LiveCD in VirtualBox 2.2.4 with CD passthrough. The bootup was quite different from one directly on the hardware. There were significant periods of black screen, but it did finally come up to a normal GUI. When I told SuSE to "shut down, restart" the confirmation prompt was virtually unreadable (almost totally black). After I clicked it, the screen went black and stayed that way for about 5 minutes, until I told VB to give it Ctrl-Alt-Del. Thst produced a dozen or so lines of pseudo-random, mostly green, pixels scrolling down from the top of the screen, and again, no further sign of life. There was absolutely no trace of a shutdown system log. I then told VB to power-off SuSE. My host OS is Windows XP 64. After I shut down the SuSE guest and VB, I tried to eject the CD with Windows Explorer. XP was able to read the files on the CD, but it was unable to eject the CD. I had to reboot the host OS before I could unlock the CD. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
