http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551692 Summary: Installation fails in VMWare. Unable to locate source disk on CD/ISO Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: RC 2 Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: doug@foruminfosystems.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091016 SUSE/3.5.4-5.1 Firefox/3.5.4 Using VMWare Workstation 7.0, 32bit version on AMD Opteron (64bit). Single Processor/Dual core selected in configuration. Running under Suse 11.1 32bit version with 6gb memory, dual Opteron Italy series, Tyan motherboard. 11.2RC2 (32bit) boots normally, installation is selected, license screen appears and next is selected, and hardware recognition phase begins. It gets 85% of the way through the screen. When it attempts to map out what CD Drive the installation is using, it fails, and prompts the user for the location of the source medium. Attempting to define the media location as /dev/sr0 -> /dev/sr4 (and even trying /dev/hd*) (for each CD Drive in the physical system), it fails to recognize the media. This is after prompting for the drive location, then asked to insert the media (Disk 1), then pressing enter. Why is it unable to determine the current configuration and use it successfully? I've noticed this in previous versions but have not run into it never finding the media before. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create New VMWare Virtual Machine 2. Use defaults for Virtual Machine, 1 gig of memory selected. 3. Using ISO for CD Drive setup. 4. Power on system. 5. Select to install when prompted. 6. Accept License, then select Next 7. Fails at point in the next screen where it swaps location informatoin on the physical media. Actual Results: Cannot find media. Expected Results: Should have found media, then moved on through the installation. -- 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.
