There's no indication that this is a duplicate of bnc #723777 other than Steffen's wild guess. I don't know enough about YaST's internal voodoo to be able to debug this any further. -- 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.

All virtual consoles other than vt7 with the X server for installation are dead. vt1 contains garbage, the other ones are just black. vt1 displays already at the beginning of installation the garbeled screen I reported. Since the text consoles are inoperational, I cannot look at anything during installation. I have to let it crash, then open the filesystem with "Rettungssystem" and see whatever logfiles from the installation might be left over. If you have any suggestions where to look, I will be faster in providing it. BTW Booting and shutdown of a 12.1b1, once you have installed it, seem to have improved so much in speed, that KDE startup starts to look pretty slow in comparision. Nice job! -- 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.

It does not any more use kexec (change to installed system) but it does a proper installation of grub, and a nice reboot, and then it just works. The only thing I have to report now, vt1 is garbeled, and all other vts but vt7 are black and inoperational. X server on vt7 is properly working. Will try to find anything interesting.

There are possibly unrelated bugs visible. In /var/log/xdm.errors it seems that cpp is a bit abused (don't know why cpp should be used to launch xdm), and fails for some reason because of missing plugins. This probably is because the installation was a "minimal X installation", so good old xdm is being installed and used, and seems to work, despite of the error messages. Could not yet find anything suspicious in here. This time everything worked fine. -- 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.

It is a VirtualBox issue, and a fix for VBox 4.1.y is on the way. My host system openSUSE 11.4 has virtualbox-qt-4.0.12-0.2.1.x86_64 virtualbox-4.0.12-0.2.1.x86_64 virtualbox-host-kmp-desktop-4.0.12_k2.6.37.6_0.7-0.2.1.x86_64 So in fact, there is currently nothing reproducible left here. I have no more virtual disk with a failed installation, and cannot create another one. I cannot provide any information from a failed installation, but VirtualBox logs. The last failed installation was overwritten by a text-mode install, which worked, and since then every installation worked and succeeded in booting into the fresh system, even creating a fresh VM from scratch did not help. -- 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.
