Hello,
I have tried to install 10.1 beta4 within a virtual pSeries partition. The CD boot works and later I get the following error message:
*** An error occurred during the installation.
I have assigned: 256 MB memory One network interface 12 GB disk 2 CPUs
The problem only occurs using Suse 10.1 beta4, I tested as well Suse 9 "Enterprise Server 9 (ppc) - Kernel 2.6.5-7.97-pseries64" which works fine on this system.
Any ideas?
Helmut
