So indeed there is a memory problem on the NET install media. 768 MB is not enough (recommended minimum by vmware for openSUSE is 512 MB)
I typically use 1024Mb for a xen guest, but 512Mb is possible if you activate swap. (didn't yast used to do that automagically?)
The Full DVD does not have any of those problems, installs fine and fast enough (though not fast).
Maybe it uses swap.
ntpd I taboo in all vmware guest installs per the recommendation from Vmware: the clock should be adjusted and trimmed only on the host CPU, not on the guests.
Funny, exactly the opposite on xen, otherwise systemd keeps complaining about the clock being adjusted.
The guests should instead use the guest tools to query the host for the time. Yes, AFAIR I reported this several years ago, but the problem remains.
I guess the installation wouold need to be sensitive to which host it is running on, that's perhaps not so easy.
Removing ntpd causes the installation to halt midprocess and complain of an error. Hitting continue works.
That sounds like a bug.
Probably other virtualization technology have the same issue, do not use ntp. I do not know for certain.
With xen, my guests run ntpd and have xen.independent_wallclock=1. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (24.1°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
