Installing a 12.1b1 guest after installing packages, doing some configuration, during kexec, or shortly before the screen gets garbeled, possibly leftovers from the splash screen from booting mixed with console messages contorted by a mode switch. The it hangs, console switching is no more possible, only resetting helps. The installed system cannot be booted after resetting the VM, which I would not expect. At this point grub should be installed. After installation in text mode, everything went through pretty fine, X11 comes up in the 12.1b1 after booting the first time, then it works. VirtualBox earlier had issues with kexec, so it might still have issues. Or linux has issues after changes affecting virtualbox. Don't know who might have to fix anything. So, there is a problem, there is a workaround, to use text mode installation, and it is unclear who is responsible. If anybody knows a place to forward this bug to, feel free. If there is any further information I could provide, please ask. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use VirtualBox under 11.4 2. Create guest with 12.1b1 DVD x86_64 3. Use graphical installer, e.g. minimal installation Actual Results: When booting into new system vm hangs, only reset helps. Grub is missing in the freshly installed guest, and installation has to be done from the beginning. Expected Results: Running the freshly installed system works. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
