It was reproducible in German as well. Log files will be attached in the next comment. -- 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 works without problem however when qemu-kvm with the kvm module is used: qemu-kvm -std-vga -no-quit -m 512 \ -cdrom /mounts/dist/install/openSUSE-11.0-Beta1/openSUSE-11.0-Beta1- DVD-x86_64.iso \ -boot d \ -hda $NAME.img \ -monitor stdio \ -net nic,model=rtl8139 \ -net user,hostname=$NAME \ -vnc :2 \ $@ -- 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.

Copying from /dev/urandom to /dev/sda using “dd” doesn’t seem to copy anything at all. Checking the contents of /dev/sda after trying to copy stuff there with “dd” shows that there are only null-bytes at /dev/sda. -- 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.
