Current 2.31.8-xen kernel is OK now. However, i believe , that vm-install in recently updated 11.2 works as bad as it did before maintenance update. As far as i understood suggestion bellow attempts to install 11.2 PV Guest via ISO image.Follow https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551664 for F12 PV Guest ******* Quote:- ******* ------------------------------------------- Charles Arnold 2009-11-17 21:55:39 UTC ------------------------------------------- You can also use the following work around to install using an ISO file. Select 'Create Virtual Machine" from the Yast menu or vm-install from the command line or via virt-manager. The instructions start once you get to the "Summary" screen. Step 1: From the "Summary" screen, Select "Operating System Installation". Step 2: From the "Operating System Installation" screen, select "Virtual Disk" and then "Add". Step 3: From the "Virtual Disk" Screen, select your ISO file. Step 4: Press "Ok" and "Apply" to return to the "Summary" screen. Step 5: From the "Summary" screen, select "Disks". Step 6: From the "Disks" screen highlight the ISO you just added as an installation source and Select "Remove". Step 7: From the "Disks" screen select "Harddisk". Step 8: From the "Virtual Disks" screen select your ISO file. Check the "Read-Only Access" box. Step 9: Press "Ok" and "Apply" to return to the "Summary" screen. Step 10: From the "Summary" screen Press "Ok" to start the installation (assuming other settings are correct). During the installation of the guest, you may see a warning on the "Installation Settings" screen under the "Booting" section that says 'It was not possible to determine the exact order of disks for device map. The order of disks can be changed in "Boot Loader Installation Details"'. So far, we have not seen any adverse effects from this warning by simply ignoring it. *********** Quote ends. *********** OK , try to reproduce procedure above for F12 ISO image with --debug option to see what's going on # vm-install --debug DEBUG Installation source: 3.3 GB CD-ROM or DVD (file:/root/vmf/f12.iso) DEBUG Examining '/root/vmf/f12.iso' for partitions...
