I have a physical server running SUSE 9.2 (which I cannot upgrade), and I am attempting to move it to a virtual machine using VirtualBox. I have changed grub and fstab to reflect the new hard drive names (hda instead of sda).
Has the architecture changed? 32 vs 64? Are you attempting to use the original physical disks, or are you using virtualized disks on the host?
I can get the virtual machine to boot into single user mode, but it freezes after a few minutes.
Have a look at /var/log/boot.msg and /var/log/messages Did you try runlevel 3? Single user mode is 1. Try running "top" to see what task ares being executed when it freezes.
If I boot into runlevel 5, I get an ncurses Yast which says "ACCEPT" and "CANCEL" and shows a big gray box where the menu choices should be. Choosing "ACCEPT" or "CANCEL" locks up the virtual machine.
That could be the video mode :-? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
