The system loads the linux kernerl and some boot messages are shown. After that, the green progress bar comes up and progress to 100%. Then some messages are shown in the top left corner. After that, the following lines are there: Probing connected terminal... Initializing virtual console... Found a Linux console terminal on /dev/console (100 columns x 37 lines). And now the installation hangs - no more activity... The same procedure with an openSuSE 12.2 ISO connected to that guest works as expected. Also an early Factory ISO version with openSuSE 13.1 milestone 3 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create guest on ESXi 4.1 machine 2. Connect the 13.1 RC1 ISO 3. Boot from ISO Actual Results: The installation hangs before YaST should start Expected Results: The installation should work When select the installation option "Check installation media" the ISO is checked successfully with message "no error found".

Not at the beginning of the installation, but at the first reboot during the installation. The last row shown on the terminal: "rcnscd: no such service nscd", which is followed by freeze. -- 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.

Do you really want to release a version, that can't be installed? More than 3 weeks without a feedback to a critical bug is very bad... -- 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.

I have not tried textmode=1 as additional kernel boot parameter, but will try it this evening. As I wrote before - the "13.1 milestone 5 ISO" workss but RC1 and RC2 does not. So, something has changed in boot process between milestone 5 and RC1. -- 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.

So it seems the graphical standard installation UI don't work in RC1 and RC2 when installaion on a VMware environment. -- 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.
