So, I got my Windows xp reinstalled and working perfectly, and updated to 11.3. Tired of dual-boot, especially now that my job requires me to go more often to Windows, I looked into VirtualBox. Looks clear enough on vavai's web site and the VB site, but ...
Vavai says I absolutely _have_ to have the kernel-default. Using his instructions, I find I have kernel-desktop installed. So I look for instructions to change kernel.
The wiki is empty, as far as I can find (23 pages naming "kernel", none telling how to change the kernel without reinstalling). Is it possible to change kernels without reinstalling 11.3? I can, but it seems so extravagant...
It is very easy. Fire up YaST, search "kernel", in the list choose the kernel-default, click to install. Done. If everything goes to plan, you will have at least two entries in the grub menu, one for the desktop kernel, another for the default kernel, and other two for "failsafe" with both kernels. If you later decide to remove one of the kernels, it is just as easy. Whether you really need that kernel or not for VB, I can't say. It makes some sense to me (preemtpive multitasking, was it?), but I don't really know. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
