http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551588 Summary: x86-64 install crashes during hostname/network configuration on Virtualbox guest Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: RC 2 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: rdb@ccb.ac.uk QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091016 Firefox/3.5.4 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) When installing openSUSE 11.2 RC2 x86-64 from the CD/ISO installation on a 64-bit Virtualbox 3.0.8 Guest, Yast crashes at some point soon after the reboot that follows the package installation. This crash occurs both when Automatic Configuration is Enabled and when it is not. When Automatic Configuration is disabled, the crash most likely occurs after clicking 'Next' on the Hostname, but occasionally will occur during the 'Network Configuration' hardware detection, and on one occasion occurred only after pressing 'Next' on the Network Configuration screen. When Automatic Configuration is enabled, the crash occurs during the Automatic Configuration stage of the install. As soon as Yast crashes, the half installed installation of openSUSE attempts to boot, leading to a login screen that is without any usernames (when using a GNOME installation) This crash has been reproduced on 3.0.8 Virtualbox on both an openSUSE 11.1 and Windows 7 Host. The crash occurs both when the install is done from an ISO file, or from a physical CD media. In both cases, the Physical and the ISO test have valid gpg and md5 checksums. This crash does not occur with the 32-bit installation media. The same x86-64 media was used to test the installation on 'Real' hardware. On real hardware, the Crashes did not occur, strongly suggesting the issue is only when installing on Virtualbox Guests. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install openSUSE 11.2 RC2 x86-64 on a x64 Virtualbox guest instance 2. Allow installation to progress to the Hostname/Network configuration or Automatic configuration stage 3. Crash occurs. -- 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 am pretty sure that it is because of insufficient memory. Richard, how much RAM did you give to the VM?

This crash has also been seen with identical symptoms on another two hosts (openSUSE 11.1 and Windows 7 RC) both with 4GB of RAM. On all 3 hosts, the crash has been seen with identical symptoms when 256MB, 512MB, or 1GB of RAM have been allocated to the VM. 256MB is the default suggested by Virtualbox for a 64-bit openSUSE VM, I use 512MB as my personal favourite setting, and I started using 1GB as part of the troubleshooting before I posted this bug report. -- 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.

This issue is ONLY with 64-bit installs on 64-bit Virtualbox guests. I thought this should be important to add as the hardware requirements you quoted appear to be the same for 32 or 64-bit openSUSE -- 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.

According to my tests this issue no longer appears in 11.3, so probably safe to close and forget about now

I agree, I installed 11.3 in VirtualBox and all is fine. -- 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.
