It fails to even install. the gui/ncurses installer never even starts up. If I'm in vm-install, at the summary screen, I click Ok. VM console window pops up. I see several kernel errors, as pasted above, then the screen disappears. vm-install says, "Error\nNo Kernel was found. The installation may have failed." It's only by doing a while(true); do xm con opensuse11; done in dom0 that I was able to see what even went wrong. It flies on and off the screen very fast. If I pass console=xvc0 I can see that it last said,

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"'.

Why is this bug marked as RESOLVED?

The bug is technically resolved, but the release manager decided not to incorporate the fix (hence the target milestone "unspecified"). Hence the workaround. At this point there do not seem to be plans remaster the ISO. Any discussion regarding this decision should probably be had on mailing lists, not in bugzilla. -- 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 run 11.2, updates as per 2010, Feb 08, stock Kernel 2.6.31.5 and KOTD 2.6.31.12-0.1.99.1.a5eb2b3-xen. I cannot find a working kernel on KOTD repo. I observe *exactly* the same behaviour everytime I try using vm-install and the workaround did not work at all for me. I have a text based setup, so I can only use vm-install. Ther is no "Summary" screen there. Also I use an ftp install source, as there is no option to choose set a ISO for installation source, see below: "Specify the bootable virtual disk (often labeled as Disk 1) or the network installation source URL.
