Run 'zypper lr -u' on your machine and report what you see. vm-install retrieves its information from this command. If a particular repository is wrong, it should be removed by zypper.

vm-install will also get your dom0 install source location from /var/lib/YaST2/install.inf and display it as the default. If it is no longer correct, you can manually edit the file and change it (or perhaps change it through YaST 'Installation Source').

Can I somehow get vm-install to install a 32bit paravirtualized openSUSE11.2 on my 64 bit openSUSE 11.2? Maybe by editing /var/lib/YaST2/install.inf ?
Sure. You can do that in vm-install. Just select 'Operating System Settings' and then change the 'Network URL' text field to point at the appropriate 32bit URL installation source. -- 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.

I'm afraid it's impossible this way. OpenSUSE repositories contain both 32bit and 64bit packages. -- 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.

You could create your own from the 32bit ISO. -- 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.

Finally I figured out that, by choosing repository, you cannot influence the architecture of the domU to install. Instead you have to choose between repo/oss/boot/i386/vmlinuz-xen combined with repo/oss/boot/i386/initrd-xen, and repo/oss/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz-xen combined with repo/oss/boot/x86_64/initrd-xen to start the paravirtualized domU on. The kernel commandline must define the same repositor URL (install=http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/oss) for both 32 and 64 bit installations, the configuration stored in inird (I assume) will affect the architecture of downloaded rpms during installation. -- 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.
