[opensuse] openSUSE 10.2 under QEMU on WinXP
Hi, I have been trying to get Opensuse 10.2 running under QEMU (0.9.0) on a WinXP Pro host. The software sees the DVD to start with and gives the splash screen and boot menu but once the linux kernel is booted it just complains about not being able to see the optical and disk devices and dumps me back into the text mode installation system. Has anyone managed to get Opensuse 10.2 working in QEMU on WinXP and if so how? I am assuming that either a kernel module isn't loaded which should be or a wrong module is loaded. I don't see any messages during boot saying its found disk devices during the start up messages, (and I can't get back to see those message in detail once in the text mode install screens). I have tried the various different install options presented at the boot screen, (disabling various things).

Qemu is optimized for old OSes, such as Win9x. To run modern OSes, try to get VirtualBox. link: www.virtualbox.org link2: VirtualBox on openSUSE guide: http://forgeftp.novell.com/lfl/.html/virtualbox.html -Alexey "Technologov" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

-Alexey "Technologov" alternatively, there is also vmware server, free as in free beer, but working great, even on windows. ;-))
