Also, what version of VirtualBox are you using?
The host is rather old... It is running VirtualBox 4.3.20.
Well, that's too old... Tumbleweed will not boot (to a graphical system) in that out-of-the-box.
I can say that openSUSE 42.2 is working. It is the most recent openSUSE I am running here.
AFAIK that config change is only in Tumbleweed so far.
This would be in the client kernel command line, I guess.
Yes.
As I mentioned, I don't seem to be able to edit it when booting. I would like to do that first to see that it does something.
I'm not aware that you mentioned that... Anyway, just add it in the grub config I'd say, you can always remove it again afterwards if it doesn't help. (it shouldn't prevent booting...)

It was in a different reply in this thread.

iomem=relaxed made all the difference. X11/KDE starts. Thanks to Wolfgang and Larry for the suggestion. If I update the kernel, I am guessing that the grub.cfg will be remade. How to ensure that this setting is put back each time? The only remaining thing is that the desktop does not automatically resize to fill the window. "Auto-resize guest display" is grayed-out so I cannot select it. If I put it in Scaled mode, the graphics from the original size are resized. But that is not the same as the desktop actually having a new size. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
