I have a strange problem when installing beta4 into VMware 4.5.2: CD1 and CD2 are installed without problems, but CD3 is not recognized - YaST keeps asking for it. I use the ISOs and connect them to /dev/hdc in VMware.

Try to make a DVD image from the ISOs. Maybe this will temporarily solve your problem.

I use Parallels (http://www.parallels.com/) and tried to install y2pmsh. That is on CD 3. That did not work, so I tried the DVD iso made with makeSUSEdvd and then I could install it, but got two y2pmsh in my list. When I tried to remove that, I get: <q> Installation of package /suse/i586/y2pmsh...rpm failed. [X] Show details --- </q> Not sure wether this is due to the DVD iso or another problem. houghi -- Nutze die zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.

I had the same problem except that I am using the latest Vmware v5.5 (VMware-workstation-5.5.1-19175).

The install process blocked when I gave it the 3rd CD. After hiting ENTER a couple of times, I finally chose "Ignore" and voila, I had the same problem for the 4th CD. I chose "Ignore" again and the install process asked for the 5th CD. The 5th CD ran without any problems and the installation continued up until "Hardware Configuration" page setup where there is still a problem on the "Hardware Configuration" setup page. I believe that is last problem is related to Sax2 configuration process under Vmware.

I was able to chose eject and then ok to continue with the install however sax2 can't configure the xserver even after installing the vmware tools. -- David Barker Master CNI, Master CNE, CLE, MCSE, CCNA

My main question is still open - is this a known bug or should I report it?

I didn't need CD 4 and 5 - but that sounds like a funny effect.

You mean the box says "system analyses" forever? (translated back from german, but you should get the point) I just skipped it and didn't notice problems yet ;-)

Try sax2 -m 0=vesa as workaround (found in Bug 148211) - this worked for me (IIRC only after a "init 6") Regards, Christian Boltz --

This seems to be a variant of "need to press 'eject' button in YaST" - which is a known bug (#152080 / #152260). Beta5 didn't accept CD2.iso until I chose 'eject' in YaST. I will see if this is true for the other CDs also in half an hour - just installing ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- And as Novell has shown with the packager: it's never too late for a beta, to add new features ;-) [Marcel Hilzinger in opensuse]
